Although we LOVE Mt. Rainier, the hiking season within the Park is fairly short.  When conditions on the trails are passable, we will try to post as many hikes as possible.  When the snow falls, we post most snowshoe trips outside the Park because we have done the flagged trails so many times. We are trying to post something EVERY weekend.  We usually post a variety of outings from easy to hard.  We are slow but steady hikers and snowshoers. Come join us for time outside.  We go for the adventu …

Meet other out-of-shape local hiking enthusiasts in this dog-and-family-friendly group. We'll set a slower pace, and start with easier, shorter hikes.

I'm unabashedly completely and totally overweight and out of shape, and I want to do something about it. If you do too, then let's start slow! If you aren't interested in pushing yourself just that lit …

This a group started by friends who want to experience new (and old) things with new (and old) friends. After looking for a Meetup of people to experience new things with, we were discouraged by the fact that there don't seem to be any groups for women of ALL ages to experience ALL that life in our community has to offer. We're in our 30's and 40's, but you can be any age. We're moms, wives, dog-moms, singles, partners, runners, walkers, foodies, picky eaters...you get the picture! If a posted a …
