Consider joining if you have a positive outlook on life with a ‘glass half full’ attitude. This group will have a very small membership, which is essential to creating close, meaningful friendships. Your activity will be integral to the group dynamic and ac …

This is a group for intermediate hikers who enjoy hiking, but can not always meet during the day. Setting off before sunset and watching the sun fall below the horizon from high places can make a hike an event. Navigating back down by headlamp allows other senses to sharpen. I hope to see new faces by lamplight. The hikes will be intermediate level with occasional happy hour after. I will also post random weekend adventures like white water rafting, Night zip-lining, Yosemite, mountain biking, o …

This is a group designed specifically for experienced hikers of age 18 & up who go at a slower than average pace and who are looking for a friendly, non-competitive atmosphere in which to enjoy the outdoors. I generally prefer lesser-traveled, more obscure "off the beaten path" type of areas, so some trips will be off-trail and exploratory, with the potential for some non-technical rock scrambling. Because of the slow pace of hiking, some trips will extend beyond sunset & return to the trailhead …

I ran a group like this in DC and I don't really see any organized gay hiking group here, so I'm starting a San Diego chapter. I'm setting this up for those of us who are experienced hikers and looking to do longer hikes/backpacks with other like-minded LGBT folks. There are some great regular hiking groups, but none for gays and lesbians to do 10+ mile hikes and backpacking trips in a social setting. I'm brand new to San Diego and would love it if others would offer up hike ideas or help with l …

There are a lot of people in SD County who have ties to the PCT- I was on the Facebook looking at some pictures of PCT'ers in Portland, OR who had a reunion and it got me thinking, "why not here?" In that spirit, I figured it was about time for the local trail community to have a network where we can keep in touch and make plans and do what we oh so covet- BS about the trail. City life is limiting in some capacities and i'll be the first to admit that I don't have as close of a connection with " …
