MEETING DAY
1st Wed of Month @ 7 P.M.
(No meetings July, Aug, Dec)

Welcome!

The Woodlands Hiking Club, a group of enthusiastic hikers and campers committed to enjoying the outdoors, was officially organized in 1983.  While most of our members are from The Woodlands and surrounding areas, we also have members in Sugar Land, Georgetown, and Arlington.

A day hike is usually scheduled for a Saturday morning once a month at a local trail, park, or nature center.  We normally camp one weekend a month at a Texas state park, hike Saturday, and enjoy a pot-luck dinner on Saturday night; or sometimes we go to a local restaurant.  We do not have regular campouts during July, August, or December.  Some members have travel trailers and some have tents.  Once in awhile, we stay at a motel.

Each year the club plans hiking and camping trips to meet the interests of its members.  There is something for everyone - local day hikes,  weekend trips with short day hikes, or an adventurous week-long backpacking trip to places like the Rocky Mountains, Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, or Big Bend National Park.  The Club occasionally plans more exotic trips.  Over the past several years, trips have included Alaska, Peru, England, Mexico, and France.  In August 2009, a couple of our members went llamapacking in Colorado near the Continental Divide.  In December 2009, several members once again went to Big Bend National Park to spend a week at one of the club's favorite places.  In October of this year, we went to Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Visitors are always welcome to attend our meetings.  Starting with our February 2012 meeting, we will return to meeting on the first Wednesday of the month.  We do not meet in July, August, or December.  We meet at the Spring Creek Greenway Nature Center, 1300 Riley Fuzzel Road, Spring, TX; and meetings begin at 7:00 P.M.  Our newsletters from the past year (see tab at the left) will give you a good idea of our activities, and the most recent newsletter will have up-to-date contact information and any changes in our meeting day and location.
