About us
This group is for young adults in Denver who would like to have adventures, in and outdoors, with new and old friends. If you're in Denver and would like to make some new friends, come join us!
We want to extend a strong welcome specifically to people who are new in town. This is a group where you will fit in and make your first friends. CO native? You too.
We do a wide variety of events - board games, happy hour, concerts, amusement parks, camping, road trips - if you have a suggestion, just tell an organizer.
We ask that you lead by example, and we'll do our best to do the same.
Do the right thing. Be friendly. Be tolerant.
Meetup costs around $200/year, plus what we spend on materials for you. We don't charge dues, please offer a few bucks to help out if you can.
If you would like to become an organizer, thoughtfully plan an event, then ask an existing organizer to sponsor your event to start our mentorship process.

Location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/hvFMxjEQD53ifdNY6📍 THIS WEEK’S HIKE
Herman Gulch • ~6.75 miles • ~10,296 ft starting elevation • ~1,804 ft gain • ~4 hoursWe’re joining forces with Nate, who is hosting this event — what better way to wrap up the Spring Rise season than with a bigger alpine adventure and more people on the trail ⛰️🥾🌼
The route fits almost perfectly with our Trail Time progression schedule. For those aiming to hit the full Trail Time goal, we’ll add a short extra section (+23 ft gain each way), bringing the total closer to ~1,804 ft gain.
Alpine views, mountain lake vibes, and Golden Mill afterward? Sounds like a pretty solid season finale to me 🏁🎉
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⛰️🥾 Trail Time | Spring Rise 🌼 is a bi-weekly social hike series focused on staying active, building community, and gradually building endurance through moderately challenging hikes (~1,400–1,900 ft of gain).Come solo or bring a friend (just include them in your RSVP).
