Find hiking friends near you

Hiking alone can be peaceful, but sharing a trail with others transforms it into a memory. Groups provide safety, motivation to tackle harder routes, and conversation that makes the miles fly by.

Local hiking groups are one of the easiest ways to explore your surroundings while meeting people who share a love of the outdoors. No fitness level is too low — most groups offer routes for all abilities.

Regular hiking with the same group becomes a weekend anchor. You will look forward to it all week, sleep better on Sunday nights, and build real friendships in a natural setting.

Search Social for hiking meetups in your area. Plans include the trail name, difficulty level, meeting point, and estimated duration so you know exactly what you are signing up for.

Most hiking plans on Social welcome all fitness levels. If in doubt, message the organiser before joining to check the difficulty matches your experience.
