Member of These Hiking Groups

• Jill and Sula's Hiking Group
• Group description: Fun, social, urban hikes that end in a pub.
• San Francisco Hiking Group
• Group description: Scenic hikes and challenging rock climbing along the Bay with views of the Pacific Ocean, Golden Gate Bridge, Presidio, and Sausalito. Good way to make friends with San Francisco locals and enjoy some good hiking!
• Muir Woods and Marin Hiking
• Group description: hiking in Muir Woods and other nearby areas. There is even a trail with a small bar at the end of it - join us!
• East Bay Hikers
• Group description: East Bay has some great hikes. The weather is warmer than San Francisco and the terrain is usually different than North Bay Muir Woods area. It is also pretty convenient for people who live in East Bay because they do not have to cross any bridges!
• Bay Area Outdoor Volunteering
• Group description: This group is for people who want to be active and participate in helping to build trails, sustainable farming projects, planting trees, and working with other outdoor organizations and parks.
• North Bay Hikes
• Group description: We are Santa Rosa-based, most outings are in Sonoma, Marin, and Napa counties. Mostly hiking, some paddling, camping, biking etc. See pictures and a list of past outings on our website. Click "Join NorthBayHikes.com" to sign up for email invitations to our outings.
• Winter Snowshoe Hikes/Campouts
• Group description: If you own snowshoes and/or enjoy backcountry nordic skiing, this group might be for you. I'd like to plan Truckee/Tahoe snowshoe hikes (maybe also up north towards Lassen) this season 2010-2011. Members are not expected to be triathletes, but should be sufficiently fit to handle cold weather challenges. As excursions may include overnighters, I'd like to invite those who are conservation-minded and wouldn't think twice about picking up garbage they might see on the trail. Weekday trips are also in the works.

Hikes attended by MarkGronke

• Girlfriend Getaway: Columbia River Gorge Backpacking Adventure, Portland, OR
• Hike description: Get ready to enjoy views of gorgeous Mt. Hood as we set off from Timberline Lodge. We will pass through some glacier fed river crossings on the way to Cascade Locks via the Pacific Crest Trail, so get ready to get your shoes wet and learn a new skill! The highlight of the trip will be veering off of the Pacific Crest Trail to wander down the Eagle Creek Trail known for its countless water falls. We will finish the week in Cascade Locks.
