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 …

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 do a lot more than hike; …
