Welcome to the area and to a whole new group of friends! Having moved to the area less than 6mos ago, I know what it's like to be new & how great it is to get out there and meet new friends. The Bay Area is an exciting place, so we'll try to pick out the cool spots that are must go-to's in the area! I look forward to being the new organizer!

This is for people who enjoy being out in the nature. Who love to explore new places. Who like hiking [around the bay area], camping [around California] and of course meeting some fun people along the way. The hikes are usually not very hardcore, more in the 8 mile range and laid back :)
