Participating in nature / outdoors events at our beautiful parks & trails is a refreshing way to spend a few hours or the better part of a day - invigorating our body, mind & spirit!  But, it isn't easy to find these events, parks or others with similar interests to enjoy them with!   That's what led to the creation of this unique community resource / portal for outdoors & nature.  

Did you know - there are many interesting group events conducted by our county Park Districts and a variety of other groups / organizations?

Group activities led by experienced & enthusiastic event leaders / docents / rangers - from easy walks to challenging hikes - where we can explore and enjoy our scenic parks, open space & wilderness / wildlife preserves.

However, these events and great places have unintentionally remained a best kept secret!

Why? Because it has been a challenge to find and search through several websites, scanning long lists (sometimes pdf files) of events - trying to simply find a park or an event that matched our availability and preferences! (e.g. a moderate hike of less than 5 miles next Saturday, or a park in the South Bay with waterfalls & wildflowers.)

It was especially hard for most of us with limited time to find and enjoy these fun, interesting events. We certainly needed a more convenient solution!

Given the high quality of the events and the hours of  fun, fitness & friendship they provide, it is surprising that most events are free (though a few require pre-registration and modest fees.)  Thus, with just a moderate amount of fitness and a bit of curiosity / sense of adventure, we can start enjoying our local & regional parks, open space preserves and wilderness areas.

These outdoors group events are one of the greatest ways to get refreshed, de-stressed, and energized (while burning calories!)

And it's more fun discovering / enjoying / appreciating the diverse flora & fauna in the company of old & new friends. From colorful seasonal wildflowers to towering old Redwoods - from the diminutive Newts to a herd of 700-1000 pound Tule Elk - from the common but interesting Mallard ducks to migratory and other rarer birdlife! Not to forget the great vistas & settings that reflect the changing beauty of the seasons - and the varying glow & colors of our nearest star and our celestial companion!
