What we’re about
This group is for anyone who has experience and is interested in hiking, backpacking, kayaking and possibly rock climbing. Mostly we will be hiking. I started this group so that I can continue my passion for getting out there and exploring the great outdoors.
Upcoming events (4+)
See all- Philly Christmas Crawl: Comcast • Macy's • RiverRink • Miracle on 13th and MORE!Comcast Technology Center, Philadelphia, PA
Plan on a fast-paced, 6-mile walk celebrating all things Philly! There will be plenty of leisurely stops for adult beverages and food, shopping, skating (remember to reserve your 4pm ticket!) or relaxing in the lounge at RiverRink.
