California Canine Hikers organizes and leads day and evening hikes mainly in Los Angeles County foothills and mountains. Most of our hikes are relatively easy -- around five miles, round-trip, with no more than about 1,000' of elevation gain. Some, however, are a bit more challenging, and can run to eight or more miles in length and contain more than a thousand feet of gain. While our activities, and indeed the entire club, are very casual, we insist that the dogs remain leashed at all times, th …

I'm looking for others like me who have small dogs, live in a space that doesn't have a yard, and want more outlets to exercise their pets and have fun.

So if you have a furry friend that plays well with others, then come join us for an adventure!

I've hiked, camped and backpacked for many years. One day while hiking with a group, I heard people talking about some local hot springs, and it sounded interesting so I wanted to find out more.  Long story short, within a few years, I've gone to most of the hot springs in Southern California and many up north as well. Hot springs are special places.  They truly do have medicinal and stress relieving properties.  If you have any silver jewelry you will see the healing mineral content of the wate …

I don't sketch and draw nearly as much as I want, maybe there are a few people who feel the same and also have a nagging desire to crawl out of their dungeon. Maybe the group will flounder and collapse in days! Who knows. My plan is to meetup in unorthodox public places, interesting places, scary places? All with the goal of sitting down and sketching for a bit. Drawing buildings, drawing people, drawing signs, drawing dogs, drawing each other, drawing wheels, eating and drawing, drinking and dr …

“This is a group for anyone interested in hiking and exploring the great outdoors with our four legged buddies.. All skills levels are welcome. I started this group to meet other outdoor enthusiasts and their canine friends. Looking forward to exploring the outdoors with everybody.”

This group is for those who are interested in hiking in the L.A. area. I noticed that many of the meetup groups start their hikes early in the morning and because I often work late hours, I prefer to hike later in the day. So if you like to sleep in, please join us! I started this group to meet new friends who are in their 20's and 30's who enjoy the outdoors, but any age group is welcome. There will be some hikes and activities that are for women only, so please pay attention to the titles. Mos …
