What we’re about
This will be our 3rd year in existence and we have gone through quite the transformation. We have gone from a hiking group to a group that hikes, camps, rafts and skies and everything in between. At our core I’d like to think one thing hasn’t changed and that is that we are here for everyone. When I started this group I was a novice hiker, and all though I am getting better I am surrounded by organizers and members that know what they are doing. If you are looking for a group that wants to go out and enjoy nature and meet great people. Come give us a try. We’ll see you in the trails.

Hi Everyone, time for the monthly visit to the Valle de Oro NWR! I have scheduled this every month on a Sunday morning. We will walk at an easy pace for about 3.5-4.0 miles total. We do go into the bosque and walk to the river, be aware that this portion is not a maintained trail.
NOTE: If the entrance gate happens to be closed, just parallel park in the pull off where the informational signs are.
Great For first timers.
Should be lot of Sandhill Cranes, Canadian Geese, and other waterfowl. All the leaves should be down from the trees, so we will try to spot some porcupines.
Please note start time of 0900.
This is a great choice for new hikers; there are broad roads to walk on allowing plenty of opportunity to visit with each other and admire nature. We will take a group picture somewhere along the way.
Pets are allowed on refuge trails. Please keep all pets on a 6 foot non-retractable leash and on designated trails at all times.
See the Link below for current information from the refuge.
