The Omaha Hiking Club is a group for adults of all ages to participate in non-competitive, trail based outdoor activities in the greater Omaha area. The Omaha Hiking Club is not affiliated with other local hiking/walking groups and we welcome everyone, from beginners to advanced trekkers, to come join us on our hikes, walks or other events. So whether you are looking for some exercise, new friends or just the opportunity to spend some time outdoors, the Omaha Hiking Club is for you! The Omaha Hiking Club is an independent informal non-profit organization with no membership fees.
The Omaha Hiking Club was started in the spring of 2002 as a forum for like-minded adults to arrange and participate in opportunities to meet others who share a common interest in hiking and other outdoor activities. Our Hike Leaders schedule and lead hikes on a volunteer basis. Our leaders pick the place and time when they schedule their hike. The average distance for one of our hikes is around 4 miles with an average pace of approximately 3 miles per hour. Sometimes the distance of our hikes is longer or shorter and sometimes the pace is faster but rarely slower. The distance and the pace of the hike depends on the Hike Leader, so expect some variance in our outings. Our activities are intended and structured for adult participants, so no children please. Since animals are prohibited at most of our hiking destinations, we request that you leave your animal companions at home.
An email newsletter of upcoming hikes is sent once a month. If you would like to receive this update of events, please send an e-mail with your request to be included on the e-mailing list.
