Explore Outdoors Chicago Area Nature Lovers Hiking Group

Do you enjoy spending time in nature? This group is for folks of any age looking to connect with like-minded people in the Chicagoland area, sharing a common interest in outdoor activities and staying active.

If you're interested in hiking and an occasional weekend camping trip but don't know where to start, then this is the place for you.

The events in this group will always be cross posted with https://www.meetup.com/chicagoland-trailblazers-hiking-group/ as an outreach to members in other geographic areas since we hike all over. This enables us to reach members of further away communities.

All rules/policies specified in https://www.meetup.com/chicagoland-trailblazers-hiking-group/ also apply to this group.

Camping trips hosted by Chicagoland Trailblazers Hiking Group will not be posted in this group. This is to ensure an accurate rsvp count due to limited camping spots. If you enjoy camping, please join the primary group
