This group is for those who are interested in hiking in the L.A. area. I noticed that many of the meetup groups start their hikes early in the morning and because I often work late hours, I prefer to hike later in the day. So if you like to sleep in, please join us! 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 …

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 …

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.

I enjoy teaching outdoor skills and I consider all of them to be pathways towards a more intimate relationship with the natural environment. This group is for all ages, races, religions, and conditions of people. Anybody can participate as much or as little as they like, …

Let's deepen our experience of walking in the Santa Monica Mountains and being with others through silent, mindful walking meditation on the way out or up. And friendly talking, chatting, and yakking on the way down. Walking quietly in a group can be a powerful support for mindfulness. And being mindful while walking in nature--mindful of our steps, our bodies, our thoughts and feelings, or mindful of the nature around us--is a wonderful way to build and integrate awareness of our selves and the …
