The group has been updated to reflect the changes from my email below the original description of the group.  I will modify this page again in a few weeks. This is the original description of my purpose in starting this group: "I love to hike, but I have kids that are 9 and 11 . . . and they DON'T. I was in several other OC hiking groups, but most of the hikes happen when I would either need to get a sitter or drag the boys with us. So I finally decided to start a group to pull together others w …

A little bit about our group. We are a small but growing local group. We are based in Glendora but we are not limited to this area. We go as far as Rancho Cucamonga and all the way to Pasadena, we try to stay as local as much as possible but we do schedule a few events in the Los Angeles area. There does not seem to be any in this local area that I have found, so I decided to create my own. Our main goal is to get outdoors and do the following: Light hiking, walking, monthly group gatherings, …

There are so many great hiking clubs and groups around us (OC, LA, SGV, IE, Puente Hills, Sierra Club, etc.) and I recommend that you do try them out.  They are really great! However, if below seems to be good for you, then join us: Everyone ONE is Welcome Here! Hiking has become a hobby and a passion! I have been hiking around OC, LA, and other areas; however, I wanted to hike near my work and home due to busy and demanding schedule from work and personal life. I thought, hummm, it would be nic …

This group is dedicated to taking beautiful pictures of the natural world or including natural elements. Ever since I received my first camera at age 7, photographing nature was always my primary artistic passion. And ever since I joined the digital revolution a few years ago with the purchase of my first DSLR I have been working to build up a portfolio of images of nature. Now I would like to get together with other photographers with the same passion. I'd also love to share my knowledge and ex …

We will be participating in volunteer community events, day trips, outdoor events, hiking, walking, fundraisers and social networking. This group is open to everyone who …

California Canine Hikers organizes and leads day and evening hikes mainly in Los Angeles County foothills and mountains. Most of our hikes are relatively easy -- around five miles, round-trip, with no more than about 1,000' of elevation gain. Some, however, are a bit more challenging, and can run to eight or more miles in length and contain more than a thousand feet of gain. While our activities, and indeed the entire club, are very casual, we insist that the dogs remain leashed at all times, th …

Mostly slower paced hikes, walks, and bike rides in or near the Inland Empire area of Southern California with occasional longer, more challenging and more distant hikes and rides. We actually don't mind a little huffing and puffing on the trails and bike paths, or even a little boulder scrambling, but we're definitely not in a race and we don't particularly like to start hikes at the crack of dawn. We have fun and you are welcome to join our group. But it must be understood that hiking, biking, …
