Morning and evening hikes at Runyon Canyon. 6:30 am in the morning, 7:30 pm in the evening.

We'll meet every Wednesday evening around 6 p.m. and walk in Woodland Hills near Pierce College for approximately 90 minutes. In the winter months, we'll walk in and around the neighborhoods near Pierce and around the campus. There will be some steep hills and it will be a pretty good workout. In the summer months we will walk on the Pierce College cross country course which is quite beautiful and hilly and we'll start a little later to avoid the higher temperatures. Park near Oxnard St and Winn …

This group is for those who are interested in hiking in the L.A. area. I noticed that many of the meetup groups start their hikes early in the morning and because I often work late hours, I prefer to hike later in the day. So if you like to sleep in, please join us! I started this group to meet new friends who are in their 20's and 30's who enjoy the outdoors, but any age group is welcome. There will be some hikes and activities that are for women only, so please pay attention to the titles. Mos …

Dharma Hikes is a unique way to discover LA, leading you and your friends on a tour-guided hike through some of LA's most hidden gems. Combining the city's secret stairs, a bit of hiking, beneficial yoga, and a spirit of exploration, Dharma Hikes is a great way to gain some cardio, some fun facts about LA, and perhaps some new friends!

This is a group that will walk at a slow pace, about 20-minute miles. It's meant to be social, so we'll hopefully talk while we're walking. We'll mostly walk around the Brentwood Country Club, although eventually we may branch out to other routes. The walks will be during the day, not the evening. I would love for you to join us!

Our four friends were talking about how many new hiking groups there are now when one commented about missing some of the old Classic hikes that seemed to have fallen through the cracks. Talk turned to missing Theme hikes, Target hikes, Easy hikes for newcomers, an Eclectic mix of hiking gaps to be sure, and then those Moderate hikes that became Endurance hikes, not because they took on lots of peaks, or because they went fast, but just because they shared the whole day with walk and talk, just …

Let's deepen our experience of walking in the Santa Monica Mountains and being with others through silent, mindful walking meditation on the way out or up. And friendly talking, chatting, and yakking on the way down. Walking quietly in a group can be a powerful support for mindfulness. And being mindful while walking in nature--mindful of our steps, our bodies, our thoughts and feelings, or mindful of the nature around us--is a wonderful way to build and integrate awareness of our selves and the …

This is a hiking group, plus other misc. events (Wine Tasting, Museums, etc) for people in their 20s and 30s. It's a good way to stay in shape and make some new friends. (Optional) After the hike some of us will meet at a brunch place. This is for positive, fun people who live in Los Angeles, Hollywood, West LA, etc. You can be from elsewhere if you don't mind the drive. This is for people that like a good cardio workout, but like stopping along the way to take photos, and stop to smell the rose …

Sierra Singles, a Sierra Club group, does not require membership in the Sierra Club to participate (although you may like the events and want to join). The group offers local events. The hikes range generally from 2-4 miles and easy to moderate. There are some hikes that will be moderate-difficult to difficult, so please check the skill level of a hike before you RSVP. Also, given the fact that many of our hikes now have waiting lists, we've started a new NO-SHOW policy. If you RSVP for a hike w …

Come for a hike in Runyon Canyon every Friday morning with other dog owners. Dog not required to participate. Seriously...I don't even have a dog I just like to be around them! We meet at the south entrance at 9:45am near the intersection of N Fuller Ave & Hillside Ave; Los Angeles, CA 90046. We will be just inside or outside of the front gate. We hike the dirt trail path up the left hand side (not the paved road) which is said to be the more challenging path (still pretty easy). This hike is l …

I often like to escape the confines of the indoors and walk about. The experience I find is far more pleasant with others around. To that end I’ve created this group for open minded walkers of the Westside. Join us each week for a walk or two, won’t you?

Welcome to the Weekday Trailblazers! Our goal is to combine nature's magnificence, a good workout, and the support and laughter of friends. An observer of one of our early hikes noted that our group is like a mobile party, and we feel that captures our spirit beautifully. All that's missing is you, so get out here with us! The majority of our hikes fall within the area from Malibu to Simi Valley (south to north), and Will Rogers State Park to Port Hueneme (east to west), although we'll venture b …

This group is the fitness group of all groups in the area that will focus on high intensity interval training as well as incorporating every single aspect of health, nutrition and exercise. I am a rare instructor because not only do I possess the knowledge of "book smarts" with my degree in Kinesiology but I also have been working out in gyms and playing sports since I could walk. This also gives me the advantage of the "street" or "gym smarts". I love to teach as I instruct so as you get a kill …

I'm looking for others in the Ventura/Santa Barbara/LA area who are as anxious as I am about finding other pooches to play with our year old Beagle. It'd be great to have a group where they can all play together in a fun and safe environment. My dog is very active and can play for hours. We can meet at parks - of if you're interested in being active as well, I can schedule some dog-friendly hikes.

This group was created to cater to adults who love to hike, love the outdoors and want to do anywhere from 2-6 miles at a moderate pace. You should join this group if you like planned, as well as impromptu gatherings at varied times and varied locations. If you enjoy meeting people and making friends, love the outdoors and leaving your cares behind, then this is for you!

This is a group for Baby Boomers interested in hiking, tennis, golfing, etc. All skills levels are welcome. I started this group to meet other mature active lifestyle enthusiasts. Although theoretically I’m the meetup organizer, this is a group of co-organizers. Please don’t sign up and wait for me or others to make things happen for you. I have in mind having members post and host their preferred activity in the areas of their choice.  That way, other members looking for activities in the same …

United Steps is a privately funded non-profit organization based in Los Angeles, California. Our primary mission is to reverse the cycle of homelessness with practical methods. In Southern California, we’ve developed a dangerous tolerance for assuming that having thousands of people living on the streets is acceptable. This is an embarrassing and shameful environment which has caused Los Angeles to become the capitol of homelessness in America. The reality is that more than enough food, housing, …
