Purpose of the Group:
The purpose of this group is to bring people together for relaxed, enjoyable hikes — mostly on Saturday mornings — designed for those of us who work Monday through Friday. Hikes will be relatively easy and within about an hour’s drive of Tampa.
We’re excited to welcome Dominick and Tonya as event organizers. They may occasionally plan events during the week or further away, offering more flexibility and variety.
Who should attend:
Anyone who enjoys hiking or the outdoors.
