What we’re about
This group is for anyone in their 20s, 30s, or 40s (must be 21+) who is interested in hiking, regardless of experience. The reason for the age restriction is to encourage younger adults to get out and enjoy the outdoors and make friends! For this reason, we mostly do easy to moderate difficulty hikes, but we occasionally do some more challenging hikes and camping trips for those interested and able. Typically (though not always), we will go out after each hike to a brewery or pub for food and beer. Often, members will bring beer up with them to enjoy and/or share at the top.
All members are encouraged to post their own events here. Members who host events will have their dues waived. Events can be hikes, other outdoor excursions, visits to breweries, brewfests, parties, etc. If you are not sure if people would be interested in your idea, feel free to use the Discussion feature to ask!
When you join, you will have a 6 month free trial before you are required to pay dues ($10 per year). I will send out an e-mail reminder before this happens. If you host at least one event for the group, you will never owe any dues. Our dues help pay for the annual Meetup organizer fees, and it is a way to encourage active memberships and event organizers (which means more fun events!). Any leftover money will be used for occasional meetup socials and/or parties. And beer!
Rules for Membership:
1. Treat everyone with respect.
2. Keep your RSVPs up-to-date if your plans change, and please message your event host if you will be late. We do not officially have a "no-show" policy, but we do keep track of no shows, and if it becomes a problem, you will be spoken to.
3. Be safe! Make sure you are in good physical condition to handle the difficulty of the hike, wear proper footwear, bring water, appropriate clothing for the weather, and read event descriptions for other suggestions of equipment to bring. You are responsible for your own safety!
