About us
The Kitsap Outdoors Meetup Group is an outdoors group dedicated to bringing introductory and advanced hikes, snow travel, camping, backpacking, kayaking, and biking to the citizens of Kitsap County. Starting where the Clear Creek Trail leaves off, we know our area parks, the Olympics , the Cascades, and Mount Rainier.
Our site will provide calendar listings for Kitsap's Peninsula Wilderness Club, Kitsap Hikers Facebook group, and other groups as we become aware of their events.
If you want to get out and explore the wilderness surrounding those snowy peaks you see all around you, with like minded people, we are the organization to get you started.
