What we’re about
------ Welcome Hiking Adventurers------
We are a hiking and outdoor adventure meetup group that is part of the Sierra Club, whose mission it is to Explore, Enjoy, and Protect the Planet.
With our group you will find everything from the easiest local beginner hikes (2 miles and 200ft of gain) to half day exploration hikes in our local parks and hills (Whiting Ranch, Laguna Coast Park), to more advanced day long hikes in our scenic mountain ranges (Mt Baldy, Big Bear, Palomar), to multi-day winter sports excursions, to multi-day camping trips, informative programs, and much more!
All our hikes feature a leader and a sweep so you will never get left behind, and we focus on the enjoyment and the safety of the group.
You do not have to be a member of the Sierra Club to participate in any of our hikes!
Come enjoy hiking, camping, and other adventures with an outdoor and environmental organization that has been around for 130 years!

O: Carnival New Orleans: Parades, Music, Neighborhoods and Authentic Food
Location not specified yetJoin an insider-curated tour of New Orleans, created by a former 10-year resident and not offered by any other company. Tour will include walking parades, gumbo and po’boys, art and museum exhibits, historic neighborhoods and brass bands. A resident filmmaker, ethnographer, cook, and scholar are your guides. Enjoy three early Mardi Gras parades: Boheme, an unconventional walking art exhibit with brass bands; Krewe de Vieux, which features spectacular satirical floats of the year's current events and brass bands; and ‘tit Rex (https://titrexparade.com/), whose floats ride on skateboards pulled by members in black tie handing out tiny throws and backed up by brass bands.
Hear live music, learn to cook gumbo, and tour exhibits: the Historic New Orleans Collection featuring exhibits on civil rights and musicians; the Louisiana State Museum’s exhibits on jazz, Mardi Gras and Botanica Gardens; and City Park, which includes the world renown Bestoff Sculpture Garden (https://noma.org/besthoff-sculpture-garden/), Grow Dat Youth Farm (https://neworleanscitypark.org/visit-city-park/grow-dat/) and the Crescent City Farmers Market. Visit Treme’s Congo Square, which was a gathering place for enslaved and free people of color during the 19th century; then ferry to charming and historic Algiers Point, a ‘Site of Memory’ associated with the UNESCO Slave Route Project. Participants will walk 3-5 miles per day and enjoy an optional bike tour (pedicabs available for non-cyclists).
Cost includes 5 nights in a comfortable French Market area hotel (2 per room, own bed), with pool, gym, WIFI, and breakfast. Price also includes most transportation and lunches, museum and excursion fees, pre-trip New Orleans supper and screening of City of a Million Dreams documentary (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44aV2Thx4eA&t=19s).
