Help! Looking for Austin "outdoor/hiking" club

DH does not like to go on walks, hike, bike outdoorsy stuff. Bah!

I want to find an organization to join/go with.

I've lived in Austin 7 years and have not  hiked or biked Town Lake (except as tiny patch by Long Center). : (

 I realize it's smart to not go on hikes or walks by myself but...  there's got a to be portions and times of day to be on Town Lake trails alone an be safe... right?

thanks ladies!

Re: Help! Looking for Austin "outdoor/hiking" club

  • have you checked meetup.com -- i bet austin has a meetup group for that very purpose!
  • The Hike & Bike trail is a perfectly safe trail. I've walked alone a million times anywhere from dawn until dusk. It's teeming with runners/walkers/cyclist.  I have never felt unsafe.  I'm probably there 2-3 times per week with my toddler (in the jogging stroller).

    Are you sure you're not thinking of the green belt?  That's far more secluded and I would definitely suggest a buddy. You would be safe there during daylight hours, though.

    These might be good groups to get in touch with if you're looking to expand your hiking repertoire:

    Hill Country Outdoors
    Austin Sierra Club
    Austin In Action
    Austin Hiking Group (a Meet-up group)

  • I wanted to join this group when we moved here, but for some reason never got around to it...

    Texas Outdoors Women Network, Austin Chapter

  • There are also several run groups that do the trail if you're interested in that!  If you don't find anything, page me and I'll go with ya - I'm constantly running the trail.:)

  • Thanks ladies! I already feel more "outdoorsy"!
