Hikers, summer is upon us and the trails are about to show their heat. However, if well prepared and hydrated, hiking during the summers should be less of a heat pain. With that said, we present our hikes list for July and August! We’ve taken into a few more beginner hikes (Levels 1-3) and a couple of of higher level hikes as well. In addition to our regular list of hikes, we’re including a group bowling event, our annual LATH Beach Party, and a special hike to Celebrate our 4 year anniversary as a group! This summer will be quite fun and we look forward to seeing you there!
PLEASE NOTE: When clicking on the links below, keep in mind that the associated hike information page may not be up to date with regards to its meeting info/date/time, but will display (or be created with) the correct information (date, times, and assigned hike lead) as the hike approaches its scheduled date. It does take some work to update these, so we work on the ones with closer upcoming dates first.

MY FRIEND SAID I CAN DO THIS HIKE, I SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO IT, RIGHT?
Contrary to popular belief, you know your body and hiking experience better than your friends. Whether you are a first-timer or an experienced hiker, please read our hike details page as the hike may not suite your experience level. We have a better experience if every hike has hikers of the intended level.
