What we’re about
Welcome to NorCal Outdoor Explorers (NOE)! We are a fun, friendly, and inclusive group for outdoor lovers and enthusiasts who enjoy getting outside, staying active, and making new friends. Whether you're into hiking, kayaking, biking, camping, paddleboarding, or just exploring new trails and parks, this group is for you. Northern California offers endless opportunities for adventure, and we're here to experience it all!
Our events are geared toward those who want to enjoy nature, stay healthy, and connect with like-minded people. Some outings will be relaxed and social, while others might be a little more adventurous — but all will be welcoming and supportive. While our focus is on outdoor activities, we will also schedule indoor events such as eating at great restaurants, going to the movies, and playing pool, darts and shuffleboard. If you're looking to stay active, make new friends, and discover the best of Northern California’s outdoors, come join us!
