I started this group because we hike a lot with our kids and we wanted to share the experience with other families in the area.  We pick a different spot to hike once or twice a week and we all meet-up for the hike.   And now that the group has been up and running for several years, I have to say that it is one of the days a week that I look forward to the most.  SInce many of us started out with Preschoolers, the group used to be called hiking with preschoolers, however, now those kids are ente …

We will seek out more level hiking trails with no more than 1,000 foot elevations and range anywhere from 3 - 7 miles in length with a social element of either starting or ending the walks and hikes with an optional shared meal at a restaurant near the hiking/walking destination. Just because th …

Although our mainstay is hiking we've also  been  biking, camping, kayaking, walking and eating with cameras.  Just about anything outdoorsy with camera included.   The trails we choose range from easy to moderately strenuous and almost all include rocks, roots, and elevation changes. On hikes we do the buddy system which allows more opportunities to take pictures as photographers are of a very curious nature and tend to wander off. Cameras are not required but highly recommended. From our exper …

Join us for twice weekly hikes that alternate among four fairly standard routes. Typically, we take the same hike twice weekly, three of which are along the mountains-to-sea trail, running alongside the Blue Ridge Parkway in Asheville. Once a month, we go on a hike among the 25 miles of hiking trails within the campus of Warren Wilson College. We focus on weekday hikes, with occasional weekend jaunts. Because we do the same hike twice each week and then repeat it every fifth week, the emphasis …

I thought it would be great to create meet up where people with similar interest can share information about trails in WNC area and plan group ride/hike. I want all members to enjoy the ride without feeling pressure to catch up. I remembered riding with guys that I felt like throwing up. If you're a guy but don't have instinct to chase other bunnies/racing/compete, or go way ahead of us, you're more than welcome to join our ride. No matter how skilled/experienced rider you are, I hope we can alw …
