Welcome to The Hike. "The Hike" seeks to explore natural beauty in Sonoma and surrounding counties on foot while enjoying the company of others. Hikes are approximately 8-12 miles and vary in difficulty. I have been on many hikes around Sonoma County, but mostly enjoy exploring new trails, so hikes will often be exploratory for me. To participate in a hike, I require that you take responsibility for yourself and any guest(s) that you bring.  This is actually spelled out in your agreement with m …

This group's goal is to get exercise while exploring and learning about the geology and natural science of the San Francisco Bay Area. The aim is the mid-point between the hiking groups that don't stop long enough to explore and learn about what they're passing and the nature groups that see lots of great stuff, but don't get that much exercise. Hikes will be lead by members with knowledge of unique, exotic, or otherwise fascinating features of our area. If you have a favorite hike that you'd l …

This group is an experiment. This group was inspired by a friend's use of her mascots to document her overseas trip and then some of her hiking in the Bay Area Ridge Trail & More group. It added a humor and a personalization to her trips that is very fun and interesting. I would like to replicate and experiment with this idea with the creation of this group. So then, the purpose of this group is to bring out the innocent or child in us, as we hike or travel, through the persona of a mascot. This …

This is a group for yogis who are also hikers. We hike, we practice yoga, we meditate, we become friends. Our best sun salutations are in the wilderness where we feel complete and one whole with Mother Earth. Our hikes are challenging but our yoga retreats in the woods and in the mountains are peaceful. Our outings will be in small groups as wilderness and crowds do not go together. I am a member of other meetups and I learned from those experiences. I would like to set up this one differently. …

We're a great group of guys who have come together almost every week/weekend now since August 2012 to explore the various trails--in the hills, by the bay, and in between--that are right here at our doorstep in the East Bay.  No heroic mountaineering, just a good solid regular hike, fun companionship, a bit of adventurous exploring now and then, and on occasion, some socializing over food and drink afterward.  Nothing beats the fresh air, the spectacular landscape and views, and making some new …
