Transit-Friendly Hikes and Walks in (or near) Philadelphia are my personal focus as Organizer (as a car-free person), although carpooling is occasionally arranged.  I originally joined this group because of its low-key focus: simple local hikes, within an hour's drive of Philadelphia.   Please check our past calendar for the kinds of events we do (and may again).  Also please contact me if you have ideas for future events (especially if you are willing to work on them yourself). Thanks and see y …

We are a PA hiking group. I had erased all of the "rules" and descriptive info because hiking is hiking and I didn't want to make it complicated. BUT, since I've moved out to the Midstate area and have a bunch of new members who don't know me...... I am not a guide – think of me more as an organizer or logistics person. I’m not an expert. I will not be leading the hike on the trail. I have likely never hiked the trail before. We may get lost. I like to try new trails. I do some research, find ma …

This group is for active folks who love hiking and dogs. You don't need to be a dog owner to be part of this group, but you must like them! I'm doing tons of research on dog friendly areas within a couple of hours drive from the Philadelphia area. Most of the places will probably require that your dogs are leashed, so unleashing your dogs will be "at your own risk." Most of the activities will be hikes, unless the rest of the group has other ideas as well. Most of the activities that I plan will …

Hiking Around Philly is different from most hiking groups because we hike off the beaten path. We hike in the woods and the city. We go places that won't be found on any hiker's map. The events are usually within a 1.5 hour drive from Philly, though we sometimes visit NYC or the Jersey shore. Once each year we go to Acadia National Park in Maine, one of the best places in the world to hike. We sometimes participate in a conservation work party in a area we hike. And, we do a lot more than hike; …

If you enjoy hiking, kayaking, sailing, camping or just stopping to smell the roses, this may be the group for you. My intention here is to create a network of folks in the Wilmington area for weekly hikes, frequent day-trips and a few big excursions into the great outdoors. I camp, kayak and sail, but there's really no experience necessary. If you'd rather take pictures of deer than shoot them, you'll fit in. If your idea of roughing it includes a Coleman grill and running water, you'll fit in. …
