This group was originally started by Yvonne.  It was primarily a hiking group for New Zealand expats. Now that I'm organizer, we will still do some hikes which I love too and we will also mix it up with some regular meetings for conversation and camraderie, maybe a potluck or two. You'll also hear of other events that are on in the LA area. We welcome Australian expats and other friends of NZ! Mitta Vicki Wise: I'm a kiwi, mostly from Auckland, 4 years Christchurch, one year Mapua near Nelson, …

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 …

The group has been updated to reflect the changes from my email below the original description of the group.  I will modify this page again in a few weeks. This is the original description of my purpose in starting this group: "I love to hike, but I have kids that are 9 and 11 . . . and they DON'T. I was in several other OC hiking groups, but most of the hikes happen when I would either need to get a sitter or drag the boys with us. So I finally decided to start a group to pull together others w …

There are so many great hiking clubs and groups around us (OC, LA, SGV, IE, Puente Hills, Sierra Club, etc.) and I recommend that you do try them out.  They are really great! However, if below seems to be good for you, then join us: Everyone ONE is Welcome Here! Hiking has become a hobby and a passion!

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. What is Urban Hiking? An urban hike gives us the chance to explore the terrain we live in, to contemplate how …

This group is for 18-25 year old, active people who love traveling, running, hiking, and exploring new areas and cities. This group is open to suggestions. Some ideas I have are camping at Joshua Tree National Park, A Road Trip to Oregon, and hiking at the Grand Canyon. We will do our best to have the best time possible without breaking the bank, since we foresee our group will have many student members on limited budgets. Looking forward to meeting you all and please feel free to come with some …

Morning and evening hikes at Runyon Canyon. 6:30 am in the morning, 7:30 pm in the evening.

Mostly slower paced hikes, walks, and bike rides in or near the Inland Empire area of Southern California with occasional longer, more challenging and more distant hikes and rides. We actually don't mind a little huffing and puffing on the trails and bike paths, or even a little boulder scrambling, but we're definitely not in a race and we don't particularly like to start hikes at the crack of dawn. We have fun and you are welcome to join our group. But it must be understood that hiking, biking, …

This is a group for anyone interested in hiking---with a mission to help others! Our hikes are drives where we collect items for local shelters and/or schools. We collect all items before the hike so we know, while hiking, that we are also helping others. Some of the past items collected include school supplies, hygiene items, blankets, etc. Let's climb the local hills and mountains while giving back to those in need.

Welcome!

This group is for those who are interested in hiking in the L.A. area.
