About us
Hi, I’m Maddy! I love exploring Austin’s trails and getting outside whenever I can. Over time, I kept hearing the same thing from friends: “Take me hiking with you next time!” So I decided to turn that into something bigger.
This group is a space for anyone who wants to get outside, meet new people, and enjoy Austin’s nature together. All hikes are casual, welcoming, and open to the public. Feel free to bring friends, family, or your pup along.
Most group hikes last about 2 to 3 hours, depending on the trail, time of day, and group pace.
I’ll also be hosting a variety of themed hikes and experiences, and I’m always open to new ideas. If there’s something you’d love to see, feel free to reach out.
You can follow along or message me on Instagram at @HikewithMaddyATX for updates and more info.

This will be an inclusive, friendly group hike at a steady, supportive pace. However, participants should be prepared for uneven and rocky terrain, steep sections, roots, and potentially muddy or slippery conditions. Please bring enough water and hiking shoes or boots.
