Walking Boots

We are a group of UUSS walkers and hikers. We carpool from UUSS to hike interesting trails and pathways, meet others, get exercise and appreciate nature. Many of our walks are local and relatively short (3-5 miles), but some hikes are longer and farther afield (especially during hot summer months).

For more info or to get on our email list, or to volunteer to plan and lead a hike for the group, please email
