What we’re about

Hello and welcome to South Bay Hiking Meetup! We are a group centered in San Jose that organizes hikes both locally and around the Bay Area. We are fortunate in this region to have many beautiful county, regional, and state parks, along with open space preserves and pedestrian trails. We also have occasional road trips to attractions around the state!

No matter your fitness level and schedule, there is an event for you! We have events throughout the week, and welcome feedback. If you have a suggestion for a hike or are interested in being an event organizer, please reach out!

To join our group, we ask that your profile includes your first name and a picture of yourself (with face visible).

See you on the trails!
