About us
This will be our 5th 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.
