What we’re about
Ready to stretch your legs and your mind?
We’re building something special for adults 50 and over — and it all starts with hiking.
These aren’t just walks in the woods. They’re the beginning of conversations, learning, and genuine connection. Whether you’re single, married, partnered, or flying solo, you’re welcome here. No hiking experience necessary — just a little curiosity and a willingness to try something new.
We’ll start local, exploring nearby trails and sharing ideas along the way. As our group grows, so will our adventures — tapping into everything North Carolina has to offer, from scenic hikes and skill-building workshops to expert-led talks and community gatherings.
Come for the hike. Stay for the conversation. Leave feeling energized, connected, and inspired. Sign up to come and join us on the first local hike (TBD) until we have members! Sign up today!

The Wake Forest Reservoir Loop offers a serene hiking experience around a picturesque lake. The reservoir is a popular boating spot. The trail encircling the reservoir is primarily wooded, providing a quiet and shaded path under a canopy of trees. Be prepared for some uneven terrain, as the trail has numerous roots that may require careful navigation. There are several muddy spots along the trail, particularly after rain.3 attendees
