About us
This meetup is all about social interaction, mostly through hiking. We think mental health is just as important as physical health, and that makes us different from other hiking groups. If you are interested in hiking, making friends, having fun, and exploring the greater Los Angeles area, then this group is for you. Hiking, PLUS other stuff!

Route: The host knows the route. Click the link to see the route.
Navigation: Host memory, enhanced by GPS navigation as needed
Hike type: Social.
We won't be hiking at a fast pace because this is a social hike, not a conditioning hike. There is nothing wrong with stopping, even if it means every 50 steps.Stops:
The host may designate stopping points to let others catch up. We will stop at junctions to make sure everybody makes any turns or chooses the correct direction at splits, else something will be used to mark the direction, usually a large arrow made of baking soda or sticks in the shape of an arrow. There may not always be a sweeper designated to be the last hiker.Each hiker is responsible for knowing their capability, only attending events where they are able to sustain the described pace, for keeping up with the group sufficiently enough to make the turns and not get left behind, and for making sure the host is notified if they are going to split from the group.
Group separation: Sometimes hikers wish to move significantly ahead and not wait at designated stopping points. Please let the host know. They are on their own regarding route and navigation.

Sagebrush Cantina: Hindsite
Sagebrush Cantina, 23527 Calabasas Rd, Calabasas, CA, USMany from this group, plus other friends, will attend this event at Sagebrush Cantina. The band playing (Hindsite) puts on a fantastic show, playing dance, pop, r&b/funk, and hip hop music from the 70's up to the latest hits.
This is one of the best venues I've experienced on LA's west side, and this is one of the best bands I've seen at this venue. Come see a Hollywood quality show for free. Hindsite will have you dancing all night!
We'll be seated either in the outdoor area, or indoors, depending on the weather. Seating is often tough here, so even if we don't all sit together, we'll be seeing one another on the dance floor!
The band starts at 8p, but get there an hour earlier and maybe you'll get a seat with the group.
