Tucson Walking-Hiking-Meandering Meetup Group

The Tucson Walking-Hiking-Meandering Meetup Group offers a unique outdoor experience for individuals who prefer a slow and steady pace while exploring the stunning landscapes of southern Arizona. With a focus on enjoying the views, wildflowers, and wildlife, participants can expect a leisurely pace of around 2 miles per hour, allowing for plenty of opportunities to stop and appreciate the surroundings. The group typically embarks on 1-2 hour walks with moderate elevation gain, taking breaks as needed and exploring a variety of scenic routes such as Sweetwater Preserve, King Canyon, Tucson Mountains, and more. Emphasizing the collection of experiences over accumulating miles, members are encouraged to bring along tools for plant and wildlife identification, as well as cameras to capture memorable moments. Above all, a friendly and easy-going atmosphere prevails, ensuring that having fun is the top priority. Participants are advised to bring 1-2 liters of water, sunscreen, a hat, and suitable footwear for the outings, with the group being most active during the winter months, especially in spring.
