We're a bunch of open-minded hikers in the East Bay in their 20's and 30's that love to stay active! This is a sister group of BAAA (Bay Area Anything Active). We suggest you check out that group as well! It covers more than just hiking too, and has events all around the Bay! http://www.meetup.com/anythingactive  

(Fremont / Union City / Newark) A fun local way to stay in shape for those longer weekend hikes with other groups or just to stay healthy and meet new people. Beautiful panoramic views of the bay area all the way from San Jose to San Francisco. Let fun social activity pull you outdoors after work rather than having to push yourself to exercise by yourself. Initial plan is for about 1 to 1.5 hour hikes on week nights during daylight savings time starting at about 6:00 PM.

Whenever and wherever but not to commute so far to hike. I have identified atleast 20 hiking places in the near vicinity. Minimum hikers should be 2 to schedule the event...

… Since other hiking groups are already meeting the needs of slower hikers, we will allow everybody to challenge themselves by hiking at the speed they chose. This may mean that some people are left behind. Also, many of us need to get to work after the hike and will need to keep up a good pace in order to get a good workout, complete the hike, and be able to get to work on time afterwards. Please take this into consideration when deciding whether you want to sign up for a hike. This said, we do t …

This is a group for folks who like to do fast, short, steep hikes in the Peninsula. Windy Hill, Hamms Gulch, and the like. Hikes in the 3-7 mile range, with 1K+ ft vertical gain, done in 2-3 hours. Pace is between fast walk and a slow jog.
