What we’re about

Our mission is to help you enjoy the sport of social group hiking. We want to help you hike and explore the Sacramento region as well as hike and explore state and national parks throughout Northern California. We are mainly a social hiking group. If you are interested in learning the sport of hiking or social group hiking, an outdoor lover who wants to take time from your busy life to get out in the woods, experience waterfalls, wildlife, amazing views, and meet new people...you belong in this group! We do a variety of day and evening hikes suitable to different fitness levels both during the week and on weekends. Whether you are a Couch Potato Beginner or an Experienced Mountaineer you will have fun hiking with us. We like variety hiking and add specific interests to some hikes like photography, compass skills or birding and often end at nice restaurants, pizza parlors or with an occasional picnic under the stars. If you want to enjoy life and stay in shape and learn the sport of hiking or social hiking join Sacramento Trail Mix today.

Hope to meet you soon on one of our many social hikes or adventures.

Happy hiking trails!
