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!

See all- Biking Medina River Natural Area and Post-Event Lunch StopMedina River Natural Area, San Antonio, TX
Your profile pic must be reasonably identifiable and your name is the name you go by. Group pic or cartoon pic are not acceptable. The spirit of our events is human interaction opposite of virtual presence and behavior...if such is not the case for your profile you'll be dis-enrolled.
This path is relatively flat in terms of biking, but there will be a few pretty steep inclines...I'll admit to walking my bike up.
Overall, it is a nice biking trail in terms of nature, out of town without being out of town.
I recall there may be easy off-trail options for those who have true mountain bikes.
Since it is all paved, all types of bikes are welcome just so to get a good workout and a chance to get out of the home!
Medina River Natural area is on the southwest side of our fair city.
For my biking events, helmets are mandatory. If not, you could be dis-enrolled and judged silently!
Since we will be well in the realm of south San Antonio surrounded by authentic mom/pop places as we head back towards 410, plenty places to stop for a good meal.

This trailhead begins off Vance Jackson north of 1604 behind the shops. It has its own parking lot. The map pin will bring you right to the meeting area. Path is pretty flat and paved, and makes for a nice 5 mile RT trek.
Somewhat shaded so hat is recommended, you will need good walking shoes, and water since there are no options along the way.
This is humans only event so please not pets.
The pace is moderate to fast just so to cover the distance in 2hrs or less.

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.
