Our hikes vary in location to keep things fresh and exciting, from Greenbelt gems to Hill Country favorites. Our trail leaders are quite experienced and seasoned, with a combined experience of hosting over 500+ hikes across Central Texas and Austin. ⛰️🌿📈
But we’re more than just hikers—we’re a community. After each hike, we gather at a local cafe, coffee shop, or brunch spot to unwind, connect, and refuel. So lace up your boots, bring your water bottle, and let’s hit the trails—and grab a bite after! 😋
