About us
"Hike for Fitness, Not Just the Scenery.”
This group is for people who enjoy hiking for fitness: steady, brisk hikes on moderate trails, with some hills and uneven ground. We’re here to cover distance and get a good workout—not to take a leisurely stroll or stop often for sightseeing.
Hikes will generally be around 4–8 miles, with the distance, terrain, elevation, and expected duration listed in each event. We’ll keep a steady pace with brief breaks as needed. This isn’t a race, and hikers should choose events that match their ability.
Bring water, suitable footwear, and weather-appropriate clothing. Come ready to hike, keep moving, and enjoy the trail.
