Hiking Around Philly is different from most hiking groups because we hike (and sometimes bicycle) off the beaten path. We hike in the woods and the city. We go places that won't be found on any hiker's map. The events are usually within a 1.5 hour drive from Philly, though we sometimes visit NYC or the Jersey shore. Once each year we go to Acadia National Park in Maine, one of the best places in the world to hike. We sometimes participate in a conservation work party in a area we hike. And, we …
Transit-Friendly Hikes and Walks in (or near) Philadelphia are my personal focus as Organizer (as a car-free person), although carpooling is occasionally arranged. I originally joined this group because of its low-key focus: simple local hikes, within an hour's drive of Philadelphia. Please check our past calendar for the kinds of events we do (and may again). Also please contact me if you have ideas for future events (especially if you are willing to work on them yourself). Thanks and see y …

This group is founded on the belief that civilized people like to sleep in on weekends, and lead their active lives in the afternoon. Hiking is not only exercise, it's also a great chance to socialize in pleasant surroundings. All hikes will finish with dinner at an affordable restaurant willing to do separate checks. Suggestions for new routes are welcome, but will only be considered if you recommend an appropriate restaurant at the end of the path.
Meetup details are available only to members.

I am starting this group due to the fact one like it doesn’t seem to exist. There are plenty of hiking groups I have found in Philadelphia area, they all seem to fall into one of two groups. First kind of “hiking” group is for the slightly older crowd, mostly people in their 40s and 50s to take a leisurely hike around an arboretum. This would be perfect if I was 15 years older. The second group is for in shape hikers. I joined one of these groups, and an easy hike was 12 miles in 3 hours with so …
