What we’re about
We pride ourselves in being a group of committed hikers and "off-roaders" who love to be outdoors and enjoy nature and good company. We hope you will decide to join us and choose to explore San Antonio and its surrounding environs. We strive to schedule hikes for every weekend and for holidays. We also do biking, kayaking, tubing, horseback riding, camping and anything that gets us the heck out of the city and into nature.
Occasionally an organizer may also schedule a mid-week event or something random. Our policy is that on hikes in parks where dogs are permitted you are free to bring them and obey the park rules regarding leashes and cleaning up after them. Children are permitted also but realize that they are YOUR responsibility and that this is an adult outdoor group. Children less than 12 years old are not permitted on our events.
Primarily, we aim for each hike to be an excellent exercise for our members. Consequently we typically hike at a moderate to fast pace depending on terrain. Check our events description for details of distance, pace and terrain.
Privacy Notice: You are welcome to take as many photos as you wish of your surrounding environs. But please ask for permission before you take a photo of any member of the group and ask for permission if you intend to post his or her photo to the web.
If you have a question please call or text. See you on our next adventure!

This locale makes for a nice after-work fitness walk. This is a 4 mile walk at a moderate pace of 3 mph starting at The Yard Shopping Center.
We will be walking on residential streets with very little traffic, and some gradual inclines. The pace will be moderate to fast, but terrain is beginner friendly. If you fall behind there's ways to reroute yourself and catch-up.
The streets in Olmos Park are dark and a light source is required, and bright colors are recommended.

Go directly to the park and meet at the park office and restrooms near the flagpole at the main headquarters (covered porch area), no later than 10:50 AM as we will begin the hike at 11:00 AM. Please give yourself plenty of time to get in the park as they are a little slow at the entrance.
We will hike about 5 miles on unpaved trails. Bring water. Dress appropriately for the weather. Some parts are rocky so please wear good hiking shoes. This is not a BEGINNERS HIKE, if you are new to hiking do not sign up for this event. There will be a trail you can turn on and do if you only want to do around 6 miles.
Pet are not allowed by park rules for the trail we will be hiking.

Bring some type of headlamp or light since most probably it'll get dark as we are finishing up.
Meet at the benches next to the restroom at 6pm. I should be there by 545pm.
We'll hike about 4 miles going clockwise route up the hill towards the Tower.
The terrain is pretty uneven so you'll need hiking shoes, plus a hiking stick is recommended since there's a couple steep stepdowns.
Not as strenuous as Friedrich but has its fair share of ups and downs.
