You will notice that most Allegheny Group outings are joint outings with Meetup. We benefit from their huge membership and Meetup benefits from our leaders. Meetup is a worldwide organization with 7.2 million members in 79,000 local groups. Over a dozen Meetup groups are in the Pittsburgh area. Some examples include Hiking, Kayaking, Backpacking, Biking, Urban (Pittsburgh) walkers, and Vegans. The Pittsburgh Hiking Meetup Group is the group that the Allegheny Group primarily joins with, and it has over 1860 members and is growing by about 500 per year. Some of our leaders and members are also involved with the Kayaking Meetup group.
Membership in Meetup is free. When you first go to their website you will be asked what geographical area you live in and what your main interests are. Then you get a list of possible Meetup groups that you may find interesting. If you express an interest in hiking, you will then see a list of the numerous hikes and XC ski trips offered over the next few months by the Pittsburgh Hiking Meetup Group. You take it from there, hope you join us!
