First meeting of 2025

New here? So are we!

Join us for a relaxed meet-and-greet over coffee. No gear required, no pressure to plan a hike — just bring your curiosity and your favorite trail stories (or questions if you’re a beginner!).

This group is about building trust and connection before we ever set foot on a trail together. We want this to be a safe, pressure-free space for outdoor lovers to meet, chat, and build friendships. Come hang out, introduce yourself, and let’s swap ideas about Michigan’s best backpacking spots.

👥 All skill levels welcome
☕ Coffee purchase optional — just being there is enough
🔐 No one-on-one backpacking invites allowed at this event

Please RSVP so we can save enough seats.

Why are you interested in joining this group, and what do you hope to get out of it?
(We’re a friendly, safety-minded community. Just looking for backpacking buddies, not hookups.)
