What we’re about
If you like to hike the many great trails in the parks west of St. Louis this group is for you.
Greensfelder, Rockwood Reservation, Castlewood, Babler, Don Robinson, Queeny, Al Foster and other nearby parks will be our stomping grounds for some great group hikes. Hike distances will generally range from 3 to 20ish miles although most will be in the 4 to 10 mile range.
About Pace: Hiking pace will be posted for each event. Hikes will fall into one of these 4 categories (we may change our pace for a specific hike based on group feedback):
- Casual: 20 minutes or more per mile. This is about 3 mph and is an "average" pace for most adults
- Fast: 18-20 minutes per mile. This is faster than average but very doable for most.
- Workout: 15-18 minutes per mile. This pace will generally make you sweat and get your heart rate moving up. I like this pace!
- Trail Running: under 15 minutes per mile. You'll need your trail runners for this one!
