Boston Hiking Club   

Welcome!

Welcome to the Boston Hiking Club!  We are a totally informal group of people (mainly in our 20's and 30's) who just like to enjoy the outdoors. We started because there really aren't any free outdoor clubs in the Boston area. We have been active since August, 2004.

In the past few months, we've grown to over 1600 members, and now have hikes or outdoor activities almost every weekend. Hikers of all levels are welcome! Happy trails!

Due to our recent growth spurt, we are managing our list exclusively through the Yahoo Group. If you only want to receive e-mails from the moderator, please choose that option when signing up, but you will miss trip announcements posted by other members.

How do I sign up for a hike?

Just keep an eye on the Yahoo group for upcoming hikes. Usually, the hike organizer will start a hike database on the yahoo group page, where you can sign up, organize rides, etc. If you have questions, email the hike organizer.

I have an idea for a hike. Now what?

If you plan it, they will come. We have enough members that you should have no trouble getting people to come on your hike. Read the Planning your own hike page, then send an email with your hike details to the yahoo group. It helps if you set up a signup database on the yahoo group home page as well. As the hike planner, you should provide people with directions, and inform the group of any weather issues/cancellations.

Post your own pictures!
