Not everyone hikes to chase miles or conquer summits.

Some of us stop for every wildflower. We take too many pictures. We laugh more than we hike. We wander down side trails just to see what's there. We pause to catch our breath, soak in a view, or simply enjoy being outside.

The Misfits is our slow-paced hiking community for those who believe the journey is every bit as important as the destination.
Whether it's your very first hike, you're rebuilding your confidence, you're introducing a friend to the outdoors, or you simply enjoy a relaxed pace, this is your place.

Everyone is welcome. All ages, all backgrounds, all genders, and all experience levels. There is no pressure to keep up, no expectation to perform, and absolutely no judgment. We hike together, we wait for one another, and we leave no one behind.

Expected Pace: Approximately 1.5 mph

This group is designed for wandering, meandering, learning, connecting, and falling in love with the outdoors—one step at a time.
If you've ever felt like you didn't fit the mold of a "typical hiker," you've found your people.

Welcome to The Misfits. 💚

Optional After-Hike Hang: We'll head over to Papa Doc's Shore Club on Lake Wylie after the hike for anyone who'd like to grab dinner, enjoy the lake views, and continue getting to know our fellow Misfits. No pressure—just good food, great company, and another chance to build community.
