If you're into overnight backpacking (not day hiking), or think you would like to be, and looking for an active group, this is the place for you! Trips are scheduled every month throughout the year. Member participation is what makes this work, both as organizers and participants. This is not backpack traveling, we aim to get out of urban environments with a focus on natural rather than cultural attractions.

Go backpacking with like-minded individuals, find great places, and shoot them (the places, that is.) I hunt the remarkable unseen landscape, the rarely or never-before-photographed, and I love a challenge. I love backpacking in the wilderness, the mountains, or in the desert with two purposes: to enjoy my time in nature and, to bring back her magical moments in a box for others to enjoy. If you prefer to hike solo but want to hike with a compatible hiking companion, this group may be for you. T …

We are a laid back, friendly group of backpackers. Our primary focus is on over night and multi-day trips but we do have an occasional day hike or happy hour. A typical trip with us is planned out by the organizer of the event in terms of trail, meeting place, mileage per day but we also like to go with flow. In other words a hike with us will not be extremely regimented and inflexible. We love talking about gear, trails, recipes... anything backpacking. This group welcomes both veterans and beg …

This is a social meet-up group. All are welcome.  I found that I enjoyed setting up events designed around having fun and enjoying what life has to offer.  I found meetup groups that offered events for singles or  couples or  single parents but not for everyone. Many of my friends are single  while others are couples, some with, and some without kids. So I have designed a group for everyone. If you are single or married, with a family or a single parent, all are welcome to join in our adventures …

Adventuring is the outdoor club for the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgendered community in the Washington DC area. Our volunteers lead hikes year-round, and in the warmer months we do recreational bike rides too, some shorter and others longer. That's not everything though. Camping, backpacking, and canoeing are examples of some of the other things we do when we have volunteers to lead them. We're all about enjoying the outdoors and being physically active. Not sure whether an activity will …

We welcome all, young and old, newbie and experienced, for hiking, climbing, backpacking, kayaking, camping, happy hours, festivals, sporting events and occasional trips. We don't charge fees for hiking (why pay for something free?), we don't have frustrating waiting lists, nor we don't micromanage our members. Our activities are for fun, stress relief and exercise, not a sporting competition. (Some events incur event admission fees th …

We are a group of nature enthusiasts that enjoys all the great outdoors that the Montgomery County, Bucks County, and the surrounding area have to offer. Hiking is our primary activity, but we also enjoy camping, backpacking, kayaking, dog walks and social gatherings. Most of our hiking trips are dog-friendly as long your canine is well behaved and under control.

From the group founder: "I love hiking and everything outdoors but lately I find myself persuading friends to go and do stuff with me simply because it is not their kind of thing. That leaves me not doing as much of the hiking I want to do because it's better to do these things with other people. Anyway, my search for people to do these things with led me here only to find most of the groups are filled with members who are older than me." So that is how this group came to be! Any outdoor adventu …

A group for people who love backpacking. We do single and multiple night backpacking trips mainly in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York. Our trips happen all year round and are of varying skill level.

I'm setting this up initially for those of us who are experienced hikers and looking to do longer hikes with other like-minded LGBT folks. There are some great regular hiking groups, but none for gays and lesbians to do 10+ mile hikes and backpacking trips in a social setting. I'd love other people to lead hikes. Here are some great resources to find local hikes. http://midatlantichikes.com/ http://www.hikingupward.com www.Localhikes.com Check other meetup.com groups. If you're new to hiking, I …

YOU have always had a yen for the stunning peak-studded scenery, and get a kick out of endurance events. You are eager to put on crampons and use your ice axe to get to the most awe-inspiring places. Your dreams are made of the white fluffy stuff that your skis float in, and you want to earn your turns. You crave the adrenalin, thin air, and the giddy high of standing on a hard-earned summit. You are not new to this -- maybe you grew up running around the hills, or ski-bummed after college. You …
