What we’re about
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.
Come hike the Columbia River Gorge with award winning guidebook author, Craig Romano.

The new second edition is updated and greatly expanded including more than 35 new destinations for a total of 125 hikes. Many of the new additions are trails less traveled and not covered in other guides. Craig will be covering trails in the Yacolt Burn State Forest, Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area, Trapper Creek Wilderness, Monte Cristo-Monte Carlo Area, and several state parks, trails and preserves on the eastern flank of the Gorge.
