All people are welcome (with or without dogs), as long as they are dog lovers! *** Please read the …

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 is a group for anyone interested in hiking, backpacking, camping, etc. in the Livermore area.

If you love to run, hike, bike, ski, snowboard, camp or just be active this group is for you.  Unlike groups that are very specific this group mixes it up.  Whatever you want to do just suggest it and invite others to join.  There are Tuesday/Thursday runs at Maidu Park every week. The park has a nice path around the perimeter (2.2 miles) but there are also some trails inside the park.  There are also runs coming up at Folsom Lake and on the American River near Auburn.
