About us
If you like doing things outdoors and getting a cold beer afterward this group is for you! The goal of this group is to bring together like minded people who love nature and the outdoors as well as going to happy hours and socializing.
As the name suggests, the geographic center of the events held by this group will be Cleveland Ohio, with perhaps a slight bias towards the East Side. Occasionally, more strenuous hikes will be planned which may be in the Columbus area or in Allegheny Mountains of Pennsylvania. In general, the hikes will be within a couple hours of Cleveland.
This group places a strong emphasis on being inclusive of people of all fitness levels and welcoming newcomers. However, every now and then, we may go on more strenuous hikes that may not be appropriate for beginners, and we encourage you to consider your skill level and the event description before attending. However, regardless of your skill level, all are welcome!
Before attending any events, please make sure you read and understand our member rules / requirements listed below, so that everyone has a fun and safe time! We look forward to seeing you out there!

University Circle and Lakeview Cemetery / Jolly Scholar
Cleveland Museum of Art, 11150 East Boulevard, Cleveland, OH, USOn this urban hike, we'll be exploring the University Circle area and getting into the Halloween spirit by winding our way through Lakeview Cemetery. Afterwards, we'll stop at the The Jolly Scholar for our post hike refreshment.
This hike will be a moderate, approximately 5.5 to 5.75 mile route. We'll start at the fountain right by the art museum, from where we'll wind around Wade Lagoon and then follow Doan Brook over to Rockefeller Park. Next we'll wind around Wade Oval and the Case campus, cross through little Italy, and then follow Mayfield Road up to the Mayfield entrance of Lakeview Cemetery. We'll thread our way past tombstones and monuments in the beautiful, forested cemetery and catch some unique views of the city in the process. I've only been to the cemetery for the first time a few weeks a back, and while I knew it was impressive, there are parts that are truly breath taking.
On the way back to the museum fountain starting point, we'll stop at the The Jolly Scholar. The Jolly Scholar is the campus staple of Case Western Reserve and as an alumni myself, has a special (sometimes embarrassing) place in my heart. Its menu features a great beer selection and decent pub food, and if the weather is warm enough, an outside patio as well.
