About us
Welcome to Adventure People! This group is for everyone who loves to hike, kayak, rock climb, and anything that gets us outdoors. We have a great team of organizers who schedule local outdoor activities, social events, and weekend camping trips. We also do small group trips to destinations around the world.
Some of the things we've done include watching the Northern Lights in Iceland, hiking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, rappelling down waterfalls in Costa Rica, trekking on a glacier in Argentina, hiking the W Trek in Chile, climbing a volcano in Hawaii, visiting the country's national parks, exploring the world's most spectacular caves in Vietnam, salsa dancing lessons in Cuba, and that's just a few.
Adventure People all have one thing in common, we want to travel the world and have fun doing it. We're explorers, not tourists. Regardless of where you go and what you do, it's the people you share the experience with that you'll remember the most. What you'll find in Adventure People is that we're a fun, active, adventurous, welcoming group of friends. By joining our community and participating in our local and international trips, you'll not only have a new group of friends but new travel companions with whom you'll want to share more experiences. That's why you'll always see repeat travelers on all of our trips!

Montecito Coast Exploring: Miramar Beach, Rosewood Miramar Beach Resort
Miramar Beach, Eucalyptus Lane and Edgecliff Lane, Montecito, CA, USExploring trips to the shorelines at very low tides at Santa Barbara, Ellwood Mesa, Shell Beach, Surf Beach had been very interesting and exciting. I got to see unique coastline features that were submerged or inaccessible at higher tides.
On this exploring trip, I want to explore the coastlines at Miramar Beach, Hammond’s Beach, and Butterfly Beach in Montecito, and westward to East Beach in Santa Barbara. I am also interested to check out Rosewood Miramar Beach Resort, Four Seasons Resort, and residential neighborhoods in this very scenic and distinctive area.
This is an urban and scenic coastal exploring hike, nature photography of various species of seabirds and low tide geographical features. I expect this trip to be very scenic, unique, fun and exciting.

15 Mile Walk & Explore: Strauss Wind Energy Park, Lompoc
Miguelito Canyon Park, Miguelito Road, Lompoc, CA, USStrauss Wind Energy Park is located on almost 6000 acres of mostly cattle cohabitating pasture land, and consists of 27 wind turbines, up to 492 tall. The site is scenic, with cattle ranches, and vistas of structurally beautiful and towering wind turbines, near and far on spring green rolling hills and pasture land.
I am fascinated by the structural design, construction, wind turbine and generator efficiency, manufacturing of various components, transportation logistics of super long 220’ blades, etc.
It would be great to do a strenuous walking workout while checking out this marvelous wind energy project. The walk & explore would be done from publicly accessible roadways, mainly San Miguelito Rd.
