Holiday Cheer Hike with MyTrailPals & Explore Local Nature

Kick off the holidays with fresh air, sweeping views, and a brand-new community of outdoor enthusiasts! Explore Local Nature and MyTrailPals are teaming up for a special "Holiday Winter Cheer" hike at the beautiful Windy Hill Preserve. Come on out to unplug and recharge with us!

Why is this event listed in Silicon Valley Entrepreneurs Meetup? Local nature tech! Explore Local Nature founder, Mike Kahn, (who now also leads Entrepreneur Hikes in this Meetup) met MyTrailPals founder, Gunjan Utreja, on his first Entrepreneur Hike. Both companies launched products this summer and were inspired to collaborate.

This isn’t just a hike; it’s a celebration of wellness and connection. We are bringing together the best of San Mateo County’s local explorers with the "Meetup reimagined" community of MyTrailPals. Whether you are looking to find new hiking buddies, discover a new trail, or simply escape the holiday hustle, this moderate 2.5–3.5 hour trek is the perfect reset button.

Expect a guided experience led by Mike, Gunjan, and Madhavi, featuring a gratitude circle, plenty of photo ops, and a supportive "adults only" group atmosphere. Let’s close out the year on a high note—literally!
