Sobre nosotros
We’re a friendly group of Phoenix-area folks who love being outdoors.
We host hikes, walks, and other outdoor activities in the Phoenix metro area, and perhaps beyond, to help you get out in nature, relax, and meet like-minded people. Everyone is welcome, even if you're new to the outdoors. On hikes, we strive to walk a comfortable pace and not leave anyone behind. However, it is up to you to research the trail and make sure it is within your fitness/comfort level.
Group leaders are all volunteers. Meetup charges a hefty fee to host a group. Any amount you can pitch in to the fundraiser is greatly appreciated. All donations go towards the Meetup app fees. Scroll to the bottom of PHX FAF home page to find the Pledge fundraiser info.
We are happy to have you join our group and outings. We require actual name and photo on your profile.

That's it for the serious stuff. Let's get outdoors together!
