Sobre nosotros
Active-Adventurers is a welcoming and fun place for good people within Virginia, Maryland, DC, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania who want to get together and have fun enjoying active outdoor activities with like-minded people regardless of their age, sex, race, orientation, religion, country of origin, etc. Our members are diverse, interesting, and friendly.
I'm always looking for people interested in hosting activities, whether it be occasionally or on a regular ongoing basis. If you want to host activities, just let me know, and I'll set you up as an Event Organizer. The objective for this group is to have a diverse schedule of activities such as hiking, camping, backpacking, fishing, rock climbing, bouldering, caving, etc., that cover a wide spectrum of interests. Come join our great group of members, have fun with us, and bring your talents and interests to share with us too. I look forward to meeting you. If you want to lead some events, message me, Rich Bethea, using the app. I'll get right back to you. Thanks.

Seneca Greenway Trail & Rocklands Farm Winery (12.7 miles and 800 ft. elevation)
Montevideo Rd. Parking Lot, 14510 Montevideo Rd., Darnestown, MD, USDESCRIPTION: This is a 12.7-mile loop hike that goes along Seneca Creek. There is not a lot of elevation change but please know your limitations as this is a longer hike. Because of the minimal elevation change we will go at about a 3 MPH pace when hiking. We will take breaks ever 2-3 miles with a lunch break at about the 8-mile mark at a nice place along the creek. This is kind of a cool hike as you are by the creek or in some of the lowlands the majority of the trip. We will have to cross Rt. 28 and walk over the Rt. 28 bridge as well as the River Road Bridge crossing Seneca Creek. There is also one place you will have to cross the creek but there are very large flat boulders you can hop on. All are easy to do but just calling them out in advance. It will likely take us between 4.5 to 5 hours. It is really nice this time of year as the leaves are starting show on the trees but you can still see pretty good through the forest. Rockland Farms Winery is about .5 miles away if anyone wanted to go there to relax after the hike.
