Casual Hikes

Casual Hikes
Amelia Lancellotti,
Hiking Coordinator

Want to enjoy walking the outdoors but are not ready for the challenges of long hikes over rough or steep terrain? Prefer a more social experience while strolling along gentler paths and trails? We have the right "Casual Hikes" for you: They are from 4 to 6 miles and are easy to moderate in difficulty. We visit parks and woodsy trails as well as popular urban sites within a half hour drive from the metropolitan DC area. No need to be in top physical shape, but you should be able to walk at a brisk pace for 2 to 3 hours with some hills, depending on the hike.

Most hikes take place at 10 am on Saturdays unless the schedule denotes a special time. Members and guests may participate. All hikes are free; however, there may be fees for carpooling and/or entry to some parks. We are looking for new hike leaders and hikes! If you would like to be a leader or have any questions about the hikes, please contact our Casual Hikes Coordinator.
