What we’re about
Let's go outdoors and hike/walk as much as possible.
The goal of this group is to build and maintain good health through brisk walking on local paved trails and also through hiking activities locally and further away.
We can track our walks/hikes on a mobile app and post the stats (miles, pace, elevation, etc.) in the comment section.
Objective is 2-3 walks on local paved trails every week for 3-5 miles each.
During weekends, we will also do as much Day Hiking as possible in the wider North Texas area and beyond.
Camping and Backpacking will be bonus activities for those interested :)

Explore Plano Walk #7: Legacy Trail Part 2
Millennium Dental, 7705 San Jacinto Pl STE 400, Plano, TX, USWe will tackle the Legacy Trail for our next two walks. The trail is 4.4 miles long, so we'll split it in half. We start where we left off last week and continue to Windhaven Meadows Park.

Plano Parks and Trails: Saturday Morning Walking Series
Ready to explore Plano one step at a time? Plano has 85 parks and 98 miles of trails, and we’re going to explore them all.
Saturday mornings at 9am, we’ll gather to walk new parks and trails, ranging from cozy neighborhood parks to sprawling nature preserves.
The goal is simple: enjoy the outdoors, get to know Plano’s green spaces, and walk every mile of trail. Whether you’re new to the area or have lived here for years, it’s a great way to see parts of the city you might not have visited before. We may ramble, we may get a little lost, but we’ll always find our way. These walks aren’t tightly scripted, so come with a sense of adventure and a flexible mindset.
First walk kicks off Saturday, October 18th I’ll announce the meeting spot and route soon. Mark your calendar and get ready to start exploring. It will take about 30 meetups to cover all of the parks and trails, so we should finish up the series in May of next year.
Bring water, wear comfortable shoes, and join when you can.7 attendees
1 mile, 3 miles, 4 miles, 5: What's your drive?
Windhaven Meadows Park, 5400 Windhaven Pkwy, Plano, TX, USJoin us for a walk that lets you choose your miles! We’ll start together with a 1‑mile loop around the park. Next, we’ll head 1 mile up the Legacy Trail and back, bringing the total to 3 miles.
For those who want to keep the momentum going, we’ll circle the park loop again, making it 4 or even 5 miles. Whether you’re here for a quick stroll or a longer stride, you set the pace and the distance.
Meet: We will meet at Windhaven Meadows Park. Five minute grace period. We will start walking at 9:05. Here's a pin drop.
Pace: It's a stroll, so it will be slow to moderate.
Distance or Time: It's up to you!
