What we’re about
PLEASE READ: The Hiking Hikers Hiking Meetup group (“3H”), established in 2006, is one of the oldest outdoor activities groups in the Valley of the Sun. 3H is proud of the many hiking and other outdoor activity meetup groups that have been spun off from its original meetup model. 3H seeks, through its members and member volunteers, to provide a supportive, nurturing environment for people to enjoy and explore the outdoors; increase awareness of and protect beautiful wild places; and promote physical conditioning and encourage personal growth.
3H encourages its members, comprised of singles, committed couples and married couples from the early twenties to the late seventies and beyond, to be well-prepared for each event attended by taking personal responsibility for their own safety and educating themselves on the skills and knowledge needed to be safe in the many places near and far that this group visits.
Education, common sense, respect for others and the willingness to help, by all of us, provides a fun, safe, and positive experience for everyone.
SPECIAL NOTE: A dollar here, a dollar there, goes a long way. Everything at 3H is voluntary. If you would like to help support 3H, PayPal, Venmo or Zelle contributions to defray meetup expenses may be made at any time to 3hmeetup@gmail.com (Last 4 digits of phone 7923). All money raised will be used expressly for that purpose, and we will, from time to time, turn off this feature as we reach our reserve support goals. Thank you for your assistance in keeping 3H the great hiking community that it is!

See all- Sunrise Peak from Lost Dog TrailheadLost Dog Wash Trailhead, Scottsdale, AZ
Fellow hikers, please join me for a hike to Sunrise Peak from the Lost Dog trailhead on Saturday morning.
Distance: ~5.6 miles
Elevation Gain: ~1300 ft
Style: Out-and-back
Pets: love them but not on this particular hike please
Pace: 2-2.5 mphYou are welcome to go ahead of me but you are on your own if you take a wrong turn. See this url for more info.
Trailhead location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/GNA15HF9JZbdtRXYA
Timing: Meet me by the bathrooms a few minutes before 7 am and we'll get going right at the top of the hour.
Note: I've experienced people just showing up without having a "Going" spot. I have a lot of empathy and care for these wonderful people as I am guessing they want to hike and be with others. Totally understandable. Yet, when this happens, I feel frustrated because I value having a choice on how many people I want to take on the hike as well as respect for that choice. I also reserve the right to break my own rule for any reason (a valuable perk of doing the work to organize and lead). :0)
All that said, I hope to see you there!
