Meet other local hiking enthusiasts as a group of friends exploring, learning, and having fun on the trail and occasionally other ways. Besides hiking we sometimes do: snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, biking, horseback riding, whitewater rafting, camping, etc. We range all over CT, central to western MA, and sometimes southern NY. Occasionally we make trips further out typically to central and northern NY, VT, NH, and ME.

THERE IS NOTHING more natural than hiking through nature barefoot. The soles of your feet and toes are wonderful sensory organs and the myriad of feelings from earth, grass, moss, pine-needles, and mud are wonderful. Many could not see hiking any other way. HIKING BAREFOOT causes virtually no trail erosion since a bare foot makes much less of an imprint than a booted foot. Bare feet are therefore the environmentally sound choice for hiking. THE BAREFOOT HIKERS are groups of people who enjoy hiki …

Bike Walk Connecticut is changing the culture of transportation through advocacy and education to make bicycling and walking safe, feasible and attractive for a healthier, cleaner Connecticut.

Join this group if you'd like to run with others in Mansfield and nearby areas.   I called the group "trail runners" because I'd like to run off-road (for example, Mansfield Hollow State Park, or Nipmuck trail), but we can also meetup for on-road runs and track workouts.   Beginners welcome.

My name is Tavonne.  I love to hike, walk, garden, bicycle, and go to the beach.  I find all those activities to be very relaxing and healing.    I hike on the weekend with my husband and family.  For the time being, most of my meet ups will be on weekdays.  I find the sound of water to be extremely soothing and relaxing.  If I can, I will try to schedule a meet up that we can be near or hear the sound of water.  Any meet up I plan, I like it to be leisurely and relaxing. I  feel that it is not …

I enjoy running with my dog and I know that there are others out there as well. I created this is fun, non-competitive group for people who enjoy running with their dog. All running levels and breeds are welcome. Members are encouraged to recommend running routes. Routes can be on pavement or off-road trails.  During the winter months, I anticipate meet-ups only happening on weekends and/or holidays.  When the days get longer, we can schedule some after work.

This group originated with the belief that people within the same basic age range seem to bond the best.  So, it is oriented towards those of us who are somewhere in their 30's or 40's (at least at heart). In general, the atmosphere is laid back and welcoming (but can be quite crazy too).  People who come to several events have often become very good friends.  Yet, please do not be mistaken: We are still open to meeting new people and making new friends.  After all, we believe that variety is th …

We are a group of active people who enjoy the outdoors, exercise, and fun activities during the week and on weekends. We might organize hikes, bike rides, potlucks/ picnics, day trips, board game gatherings, minigolf outings, etc. The idea is to make new friends and enjoy fun activities!
