Im in Atlanta. I know of the groups online but just curious of other groups out there I may have not found….?
Thank you
Oct 28, 2016 at 1:57 pm #3433273The local Sierra Club chapter seems to have outings each weekend for the coming month. Probably a lot more in summer:

Many universities have outing clubs and some of them are open to anyone. Certainly the one at Berkeley was and while it was 1/3 undergrads and 1/3 grad students, it was also 1/3 hangers on of various sorts – students from other schools, people out of school for a few or many years, community members who knew to look into university outing clubs for group events – although 28-year-olds probably lift in better than 78-year-olds. Most weeks, they offered 1-2 rock climbing trips, one or two 2-3-night backpacking trips, a weekend day hike and sometimes events during the week. Winter and Spring break would have week-long trips. All member-led, shared expense (a common rule is everyone but the driver pays for gas).
