Hikes Fall/Winter 2023-2024

Group Hikes

After several years of planning, publishing and leading group hikes and after the pandemic, I am not publishing group hikes often. A sample of a few group hikes I have led or may lead appears below. If you are looking for ideas for hikes, check my listings at Master Index to Hikes.
