This is a group for hikers of all levels.  We have novice hikes for beginners, which are paced for everyone's needs, under 3 miles, and easy terrain.  We also have weekly hikes that are moderate or strenuous for more experienced hikers.  The hikes will be labeled as "easy" (mainly flat, walking), "moderate" (a mix of some hills and flat trail) or "strenuous/difficult" (steep hills or rock scrambling). Anyone is welcome to organize a hike at any time. We also occasionally do other activities such …

Let's get together for some outside adventures! We like to have easy hikes the whole family can enjoy. Hikes will be scheduled throughout the week, including daytime, evening, and weekend hikes in relatively close proximity to Baltimore City.

It will be a slower pace to let children explore plants, bugs, sounds and anything they might find interesting along the way!
