What we’re about
If you like doing things outdoors and getting a cold beer afterward this group is for you! The goal of this group is to bring together like minded people who love nature and the outdoors as well as going to happy hours and socializing.
As the name suggests, the geographic center of the events held by this group will be Cleveland Ohio, with perhaps a slight bias towards the East Side. Occasionally, more strenuous hikes will be planned which may be in the Columbus area or in Allegheny Mountains of Pennsylvania. In general, the hikes will be within a couple hours of Cleveland.
This group places a strong emphasis on being inclusive of people of all fitness levels and welcoming newcomers. However, every now and then, we may go on more strenuous hikes that may not be appropriate for beginners, and we encourage you to consider your skill level and the event description before attending. However, regardless of your skill level, all are welcome!
Before attending any events, please make sure you read and understand our member rules / requirements listed below, so that everyone has a fun and safe time! We look forward to seeing you out there!

You know how I joke this group is about taking the hard way whenever possible? Well, this time I mean it! 🤣 For this event, the goal is a "hard" rated All Trails hike. All through there aren't many of them in the Cleveland area, this one is a gem. The whole route is about 11 miles long with 1500 feet of elevation on All Trails, so brace yourself! (it is an out and back, so we have the option of cutting it short, but I want to at least hit Blue Hen Falls, which I estimate is about 9 miles round trip).
We will start near the the Jaite Mill Historic District and make our way to the Boston Mill Visitor Center via the Buckeye, passing Blue Hen Falls and enjoying beautiful forest and creek views on the way. We will return the same way we came. The Jaite to Boston Via Buckeye Trail is close to the route I intend but NOTE we will start at a different parking lot from the location indicated on the All Trails page.
Pack a lunch! there will be food at the brewery, but this hike will be long enough that having some food midway will be beneficial.
Afterwards, we'll head to Green Valley Brewing Company (53 Milford Dr
Hudson, OH 44236) for some much needed after hike refreshment! Green Valley has a nice beer selection, great pizza, and decent outdoor space as well. I would normally say bring your appetite, but I don't think I need to after this hike!RULES AND DISCLAIMER: If you attend this event, you must must agree to follow all of our rules on the main page and agree to the release of liability. The organizers in this group are not professionals and have no expert knowledge with regard to leading outdoor activities. Outdoor activities are inherently risky: hike at your own risk. Always drink responsibly!
