About us
The Avid Readers hiking meetup is for people who are currently reading books and wish to discuss what they are reading. You are welcome to join us if you are ready to discuss what you have been reading this month.
If you are not currently reading books, then this is not the right group for you. There are plenty of other hiking meetups for you. If you are a curious type, avidly read books, are nature-loving, and like to connect with other readers, please join us!
We hike on the unique and lovely Cranbrook Campus in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. At any time of year, the experience is beautiful, rewarding, and rejuvenating. Two requirements to join us: 1) come willing to share what you are currently reading, and 2) come willing to take an interest in what others are reading and actively listen to them.
Our walking pace will be moderate, with breaks for photos, restrooms, etc.
Because our group is small, it is required that you let us know IN ADVANCE if you must cancel. We begin our hike only five minutes after the start time. If you are not sure you will attend, please be considerate and release your spot by the day before the event.

February Hike on Cranbrook Campus
Cranbrook Institute of Science, 39221 Woodward Ave, Bloomfield Hills, MI, USThe Hike with Avid Readers meetup is for people who are reading books and wish to discuss what they are currently reading. Come take a hike with us on the beautiful Cranbrook campus and talk about the book(s) you are reading.
We'll walk at a casual pace while swapping stories about what we're reading or studying. We'll hike for about 2 hours.
Please share something interesting that you've been reading. What ideas and stories excite you in your life, hobby, or career?
Come willing to be both an interested listener and a willing speaker, without dominating the exchange. Come prepared to be a bit brave in interacting with new friends.
