We will start at the Lady Bird Lake Hike & Bike Trail near Central Austin Youth League and will be traveling counter-clockwise. We will then cross the river at 1st Street (Drake) Bridge, giving us a good view of the river and an opportunity to see Austin's famous bats. Continuing on the Ann and Roy Butler Hike & Bike Trail, we will continue to the boardwalk and cross at Longhorn Dam. We will be able to take the Ann and Roy Butler Hike & Bike Trail back to where we parked, passing another view of the dam and some murals.

Afterward we're socializing at the Lustre Pearl East if anyone would like to join: 114 Linden St, Austin, TX 78702. It has outdoor seating and free parking.

Sun, Nov 24, 2024, 1:00 PM CSTIntro To Backpacking Class
Sculpture Falls & Hill Of Life Falls Loop, Austin, TX
This event is strongly suggested for beginners interested in joining a camping or backpacking event, and happens the second Wednesday of every month.

We will test our backpacks; Try to fill your bags full, bring hiking poles, and any gear you would like to test out, stoves, headlamps, water filters, tents, etc. It will be dark by the time we leave the trail, "this is intentional," please bring a light.

If you don't have all the gear (e.g. hiking backpack), that's okay! Please wear any backpack you have to simulate the extra weight. Our trips can be intense, and this is a great way for you to determine your hiking fitness (mental & physical) before a trip. Here is a link to our recommended gear

This trail should take us approximately 2.5 hours.

You can also attend just for a Wednesday hike/workout, this is my favourite trail in Austin 😃

"Torchy's Tacos," is 8 minutes away if anyone would like to grab a drink or bite and socialize afterward (Closes at 10:00p.m)

Unwind in Sri Lanka After Everest Trek

Hello everyone,

For those of you with some time to spare from November 24th to December 1st, I’m organizing a meetup in Sri Lanka following our Everest trek. We’ll be staying at our club Bungalow in Nawalapitiya, beautifully situated within a lush tea estate—perfect for some peaceful relaxation. The region also boasts exciting hiking trails that I'm eager to explore!

Please note that attendees will need to cover their own flight costs, which are approximately $1,500 USD from the U.S.A. to Colombo. However, I will be happy to cover most everything else during our stay. This event is primarily aimed at the hikers joining me on the Everest trek in the preceding weeks, but I’m happy to try to accommodate everyone ( if you’re not on the everest trip that may mean a nominal fee (tbd))

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Cheers!
