(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.

Most of our hikes are weekday AM in the Livermore and TriValley. Mostly 1 to 2 hours, we occasionally do longer hikes of 3 or 4 hours. Very rarely weekends, so if that is your only availability, we might not be the right group for you. You don't HAVE to work from home, but if you are available during weekdays (retired, flexible schedule etc) and want to get out in the sun (and rain) and get your fitness and nature fix early in the morning, come on out and join us.

This group is for all ages. Hike anywhere around the Bay Area (from San Francisco to Santa Barbara). We offer local hikes that meet on the weekends.
