This is a hiking group, plus other misc. events (Wine Tasting, Museums, etc) for people in their 20s and 30s. It's a good way to stay in shape and make some new friends. (Optional) After the hike some of us will meet at a brunch place. This is for positive, fun people who live in Los Angeles, Hollywood, West LA, etc. You can be from elsewhere if you don't mind the drive. This is for people that like a good cardio workout, but like stopping along the way to take photos, and stop to smell the rose …

It's all about enjoying the wilderness! Hiking in the local canyons- mostly in the San Gabriel Mountains. All hikes will be along a stream in a canyon and at a very slow pace with lots of breaks.

Safety always comes first, of course. It's recommended (but not required) that you bring the TEN ESSENTIAL …

We are passionate about hiking in the Santa Monica Mountains, hiking in the San Gabriels, and hiking in other areas, too!

We enjoy hiking with our dogs, and hiking with a …

Our four friends were talking about how many new hiking groups there are now when one commented about missing some of the old Classic hikes that seemed to have fallen through the cracks. Talk turned to missing Theme hikes, Target hikes, Easy hikes for newcomers, an Eclectic mix of hiking gaps to be sure, and then those Moderate hikes that became Endurance hikes, not because they took on lots of peaks, or because they went fast, but just because they shared the whole day with walk and talk, just …

(Gethsemane Outdoors) hiking and outdoors group heads into the beautiful Southern California land and seascapes once a month to re-energize our spirits, re-engage with others and restore that balance that traffic, stress and cubicles have stripped away.

This meet up is all about exploring Los Angeles on foot.  There are so many interesting parts of Los Angeles that you never notice as you drive by it in your car.  By getting out and exploring the city, we'll discover new things we didn't know existed.  We'll try to keep most hikes between 4-7 miles to make sure we have time to complete the hike and have time to explore during the hike.

I've hiked, camped and backpacked for many years. One day while hiking with a group, I heard people talking about some local hot springs, and it sounded interesting so I wanted to find out more.  Long story short, within a few years, I've gone to most of the hot springs in Southern California and many up north as well. Hot springs are special places.  They truly do have medicinal and stress relieving properties.  If you have any silver jewelry you will see the healing mineral content of the wate …

I started this group to meet new friends who are in their 20's and 30's who enjoy the outdoors, but any age group is welcome. There will be some hikes and activities that are for women only, so please pay attention to the titles. Mos …
