Welcome to the Happy Hikers Club Website!
The Happy Hikers Hiking Club
is a group of adult hikers from the Denver, Colorado Metro Area that gets together for day hikes on most weekends throughout the year. Although we usually focus on moderate 4-8 mile hikes, we also schedule longer hikes, camping trips and other outdoor activities as the occasions arise. We hike in the spring, summer, and fall and snowshoe and cross-country ski in the winter. We are a friendly, diverse group of people who consider camaraderie an important part of our outdoor experience. We also hold occasional social events because building friendships is important to us.
The Club is temporarily closed to new membership. Check back with us later to see when we are accepting new members again.
About Us
The Happy Hikers Club was established in 1988 as a class, first at Women’s School and later at Denver Free University. The purpose was to teach adults about hiking, gear and outdoor skills. Happy Hikers provided a schedule of hikes so that students could practice their newfound skills.
Today we’re still on the trail. We offer a variety of day hikes, from easy to challenging. Our hikes are led by experienced leaders, some of whom have been leading trips for more than 15 years. We’re an adults-only group whose ages range
from 25 to 65+.
What makes us a one-of-a-kind hiking group? A combination of friendliness, a sense of camaraderie, and a love of hiking and enjoyment of the outdoors. Our goal is to provide an enjoyable hiking experience for members and guests. That’s why our members have stayed with the group for many years.
