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.

You are not new to this -- maybe you grew up running around the hills, or ski-bummed after college. You …
