🛡️ Verified Hiking Club — Safer, Cleaner, Private Hikes

### Most groups let anyone click RSVP. We don’t.

That’s how strangers, drama, and unsafe people slip in.
We verify every member 🛡️
— so when you hike, you know exactly who’s beside you.
No chaos. No guessing. No clout-chasing. Just organized, grounded hikes shaped around you.
✅ Group hikes (3–12 verified members) — built for couples, friends, or travelers within the club — all guided and custom
✅ One-on-one hikes available by request — for private pacing, mentoring, or recovery support
✅ Veteran-Led, Community-Open Outdoors & Music Spaces
Led by active-duty military and combat veterans, this community is open to the general public and welcomes people of all backgrounds. We are veteran-supportive, faith-friendly, beginner-welcoming, and inclusive of seniors, families, and children. No military experience is required — just respect, presence, and a willingness to participate with care.
✅ Training and mentorship opportunities for all levels
✅ Leave No Trace aligned + permit-compliant
✅ Quiet scenic loops, beach walks, and reflective trail resets
✅ Experienced hikers and newcomers alike — structured outings without crowds or chaos
