This outdoor group is geared towards fairly strenuous outdoor activities in which your body provides the principal means of movement.

We try to maintain a decent yet enjoyable pace to accommodate photo stops, rest breaks, and "holy cow" views. We are not trying to race to the top, or get there by a certain time. It's enjoying the journey along the wa …

More than just a hiking club, this is a MeetUp for people who want to experience a new appreciation of the land around the Front Range and nature. We will be learning how to "read" nature's omens for deeper insights, how to cultivate inner wisdom, and how to be mindful and present while hiking.

Boulder & the surrounding area is such a wonderful, beautiful & incredible place to live! There are so many social opportunities & a plethora of fun, crazy adventures to be had. But, for some strange reason, Boulder seems to lack a community for lesbians. It has been rumored that there is a large lesbian population in Boulder, but the Boulder lesbian tends to be an oft-spoken of, yet rarely seen "Nesting Boulder Lesbian" - a rare bird indeed! Well, this group was formed to change that! Our g …

Welcome to the NoCo Climbers Guild. I recently stepped in as organizer for this group when the previous organizer stepped down. Like them, I would like to develop a stronger climbing community in Fort Collins and Northern Colorado. There are many climbers in Northern Colorado, yet many don't know each other. There does not appear to be a focal point where Northern Colorado climbers congregate. I would like to think that we can change this. In the upcoming weeks, I'll be sharing where I'd like to …
This group is for kid-free and fit 35-45ers who love to get outdoors for various adventures including hiking, backpacking trips, snowshoeing, trail running, bike rides, and more. Do you need more friends in your age range who are also not parents and therefore have time for fun and adventure? Do you find that your parenting friends are just not really available on a regular basis for fun and hanging out, and your friends who are available are either much younger or older? Then let’s all come to …
This group is for hiking and exploring the many amazing and beautiful trails in the Front Range area. While many hiking Meetup groups exist already, I find often that hikes are full and/or are not offered as much as I'd like to hike. So- this group will focus on offering great weekend hikes, and also midweek hikes. This not a competitive hiking group. This is not a singles group. If you love to hike and simply enjoy the beautiful area in which we live, this is your group!

Hey, we didn't get sober to sit around a church basement all day sharing our experience strength and hope. Let's get outside and see what this world has in store for us as sober individuals. Hiking, climbing, backpacking, skiing, sailing, you name it, we'll do it and might even stop to thank our higher power a time or two for good measure, after all without him (or her or whatever) we would still be sitting around with the blinds drawn wishing we were doing stuff, right? Sober Adventure's main G …

Please read the description below.] Interested in the ways of hunter-gatherers? Think you'd like to feel more connected to the earth, at one with the rest of the natural world?

The goal of the Christian Adventure Club (CAC) of NoCo is to make friends with other Christians who like athletic adventures. We define a Christian as someone who has accepted Christ in their life as Lord and Savior (John 14:6 & Ephesians 2:8-9).

If you want to know more about Christ, just email an …

I started this group to spread the word about this fantastic mind-body exercise! Some of you may remember it from the 80's, but unlike leotards and headbands, it's still around and still just as amazing. Callan Pinckney invented this exercise as a way to rehab her chronic back pain. Born with scoliosis, and after she spent time traveling the world with a backpack; she became a student of fitness and created this unique exercise. There are no high-impact movements, it is non-linear and multi-dime …
