AFOSC Hiking Club exists to provide opportunities to exercise and socialize. We hike, walk, kayak, dine, and enjoy each other’s company.

Two different types of outings are offered to reach as many members as possible.

While the General Guidelines are below, please review each Hiking Club Evite for details pertaining to lunch options, water crossings, suggested gear, whether spouses, guests, children, or pets are permitted, etc.

As with all Special Activities, updates such as cancellations or reschedules will primarily be made via Evite.

For more information, contact Beth.
