About us
This is not a regular group. Please do not ask to join UNLESS you have hikes regularly with the Sonoma County Wanderers. This is a sub group of the Sonoma County Wanderers. You need to first be an active member of the Sonoma County Wanderers. Once you have an established hiking record (20+ hikes) with the Sonoma County Wanderers and are ready to hit the road and see distant parts of the world then you are ready to join this second group! This is a hiking and traveling group. Adventure and fitness are the name of the game!!
Most important fact to be aware of!!
There is limited availability on the trips. If you are serious about traveling out of Sonoma/Marin county with the group then you will need to have a STRONG presence on the moderate-strenuous and strenuous Sonoma County Wanderer hikes with the organizers...Leigh, Joseph or Yannick. We have found that Annabel and similar hikes will NOT prepare you for hiking outside of California. I will always put the hikers that have been recently hiking the long strenuous and moderate- strenuous hikes consistently on the list first. Those are the hikers that are going to be prepared for these trips. Another hiking habit to develop to prepare for these trips is to sign up for multiple day hikes in a row without a day break in between. The trips sound exciting and adventurous but they are not for everyone. If you truly enjoy the moderate 2-3.5 hour hikes the best and find yourself gravitating to those choices, then a SIGHTSEEING international trip is more suitable for you rather than a trekking trip.

Nestled in the heart of Eastern Europe, Romania remains one of the continent's last truly undiscovered treasures. Here, towering mountain peaks rise above flower-filled meadows, shepherds still guide their flocks across alpine pastures, horse-drawn wagons travel quiet village lanes, and medieval citadels continue to thrive as living communities rather than museum pieces.
Our seventeen-day adventure combines the very best of this remarkable country. Beginning in the vibrant capital of Bucharest, we'll journey into the legendary region of Transylvania, where spectacular hiking in the Carpathian Mountains is followed by leisurely cycling through rolling farmland, Saxon villages, vineyards, and beautifully preserved medieval towns.
Along the way we'll hike beneath dramatic limestone cliffs in Piatra Craiului National Park, visit the legendary Bran Castle, cross high mountain passes in the Bucegi Mountains, cycle beneath the towering Făgăraș Mountains, drive the breathtaking Transfăgărășan Highway, and wander the colorful streets of Sibiu and Sighișoara, one of Europe's finest medieval citadels.
More than simply a hiking and cycling vacation, this journey offers an opportunity to experience a Romania that many travelers never discover. We'll stay in welcoming family-run guesthouses, enjoy homemade regional cuisine, meet local people proud to share their traditions, and experience a pace of life that has remained remarkably unchanged for generations.
Whether you're standing atop a mountain ridge, sharing stories over dinner with fellow Wanderers, or cycling through peaceful countryside beneath snow-capped peaks, we hope Romania captures your imagination as completely as it has captured ours.
