What we’re about
Meet new people, forge enduring friendships and enjoy free-flowing conversation amid an abundance of highly social activities!
I have been hosting hikes and other social events throughout San Diego for the past 8 years. I currently have 52+ distinct hiking routes in my roster (see list below), almost all within a 30-minute drive of central San Diego. My hikes tend to be large (30+ people per event) and socially interactive due to the welcoming nature of the many regulars who attend and the constant influx of newcomers. Each hike is followed by an optional brunch that typically has 20 or so of those who hiked that morning's trail attending.
When joining our group please post a recognizable photo of yourself. We look forward to meeting you!
