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
