Hiking/Bushwalking near me
If you love to hike, but sometimes struggle to find the motivation to go out on your own, joining a local hiking group might be just what you need.
Not only will it give you a group of people with similar interests, it’ll also provide you with new friends who can help keep you accountable when it comes to hiking frequently.
Regardless of whether you live in a major metropolitan area or are somewhere more remote, there are likely plenty of other people around you who love getting outside and exploring nature. In fact, many cities have hiking groups that meet regularly so that people can meet others with similar interests and have someone to climb with on those days where going solo isn’t as appealing or convenient.
If this sounds like something you’d be interested in doing, try using our search to disover local groups and guided outdoor activities that exist in your local area.

Thinking of hiking/bushwalking groups?
Social hiking or bushwalking groups can be organized by a variety of organizations, including local parks and recreation departments, hiking clubs, and online communities.
The benefits of joining a social hiking group are numerous. For one, it can provide a sense of community and motivation, as you have the support and encouragement of others to help you stick to your hiking routine. Hiking groups can also be a great way to meet new people and make new friends, especially if you are new to an area or looking to expand your social circle.
In terms of structure, social hiking groups can vary. Some groups may have a designated leader who plans the route and sets the pace, while others may be more informal, with participants simply showing up and hiking together. Some groups may meet on a regular basis, such as once a week, while others may be more sporadic.
