Chattanooga Outdoor Adventures

Chattanooga, TN

"I chose the road less travelled… Now I don’t know where I am." "Never follow someone else's path unless you're in the woods and you're lost, and you see a path. By all means, you should follow that." - Ellen Degeneres "Bring a compass. It's awkward when you have to eat your friends." - Unknown So maybe we caught your interest? Quick note then I’ll tell you what we’re about. We’ve never gotten lost or had to look at members as a food source. This is Chattanooga Outdoor Adventures not the Donner Party (some of you will get that). We enjoys the outdoors in all forms. Events like Hiking, Rafting, Kayaking, and everything else. But wait there’s more! I sound like a Ginsu knife commercial. Let’s not let any of the Donners have one of those. We also plan other great activities in and around Chattanooga. Not just hiking. Musical events, food and wine festivals. A concert in a cave, you get the idea It’s an open group and would love to get everyone involved and plan a lot of different things.

The Adventure Crew Chattanooga

I moved to Chattanooga almost a year ago and WFH. I met a lot of great people hiking through Meetup and decided to create this group for anyone who likes to go on other types of outdoor (and some indoor) adventures. Activities can include biking, kayaking, hiking, SUP, live music events, mushroom foraging, travel (local & international), and some more extreme outdoor activities like hang gliding and skydiving. Events will range from free to $$$$. We are not affiliated with any other group although I'm a big fan of and active participant of the Happy Hiking Meetup group. Have event ideas? Feel free to offer a suggestion. Let's go on adventure!

Explorer Chicks of Chattanooga

Chattanooga, TN

Looking for a community of adventure loving, boundary pushing, encouraging women to explore the world with? You found it! [Explorer Chick](https://d.docs.live.net/dd21754c8c726806/Documents/www.explorerchick.com) is a 2022 [Travel and Leisure World’s Best Tour Operator](https://www.travelandleisure.com/worlds-best/best-tour-operators-2022) changing the lives of thousands with our supportive community formed organically by the women who have traveled all over the world with us on our small-group adventure travel tours. What we got here is a happy by-product of Real Women embarking on Real Adventures. Women bonded together by challenging themselves in the outdoors. Women who naturally encouraged one another and connected right away. Women who live to LIVE. ⁠ ⁠ 🦸‍♀️ The friendships are REAL. ⁠ 🦸‍♀️ The vulnerability on the trails is REAL. ⁠ 🦸‍♀️ The empowerment is REAL. ⁠ 🦸‍♀️ The personal growth is REAL. ⁠ 🦸‍♀️ The cuss words, inside jokes, and SHE-naningans are REAL. ⁠ And we’ve been doing it since 2014! That year, Explorer Chick founder, Nicki Bruckmann was a wife, cat mom and home owner who worked full-time in corporate finance. Instead of feeling fulfilled by ticking all the boxes, she found herself feeling stifled. She made the choice to break away from it all and step out of that life. To figure things out, she needed a vacation reset. But not just any vacation. She wanted something that would feed her adventurous soul and push boundaries. But the thing about divorce? You lose that built-in travel buddy. Believing that other women must also be in the same situation; craving adventure and travel and not wanting to do it all alone, she launched Explorer Chick! [Check out the whole story here](https://explorerchick.com/about/the-explorer-chick-story/#:~:text=The%20Explorer%20Chick%20Story%20In%20a%20former%20life%2C,buy%20homes%20from%20the%20Sears%20catalog%21%29%20in%20Cincinnati.). Launching in 2015, Explorer Chick ran one trip with three bold ladies looking for adventure. From there, this amazing community of women continues to grow, and in 2022 more than 1100 women traveled with us on 133 trips over 5 continents! Whether you arrive as a solo traveler or with several of your closest gal pals, you’ll be greeted by a group of like-minded women travelers of all ages who love to go hiking, camping, rafting, backpacking, canyoning, surfing, kayaking, climbing and more. Basically, we’re all in on anything that gets us outdoors and active! We travel the US National Parks and bucket list destinations like Iceland, Jordan, Galapagos, Croatia, Uganda and so many more. The best part? You are taken care of by Explorer Chick’s professional, certified guides. They handle all the details: from food to accommodations to gear and extra words of encouragement when you need them the most. Leaving you to simply “mindlessly wander”. ⁠ “Okay, so how do I join Explorer Chick?” ⁠ It’s easy! We’re not a club. There are no dues.
