Who are you?
My name is Alecia, and I'm the Organizer for PNW Leisure Hiking!!
Why did you start PNW Leisure Hiking?
I'm unabashedly completely and totally overweight and out of shape, and I want to do something about it. I went onto Meetup.com looking for a slower-paced hiking group because I love to hike, but I just can't keep up with the faster pace. Since I didn't see an active Meetup group that fit what I was looking for, I thought that possibly others might be looking too! So I went ahead and took the plunge and started PNW Leisure Hiking on February 13, 2009. Within a short period of time we had a wonderful member base! I honestly could not ask for better partners in the wilderness than the type of members we have. I'd love you to join us too!
How would you describe your own level of experience with hiking?
I'd consider myself somewhere between a beginner and an intermediate level. But every hike I take I learn more and more. Some of the hiking books on the market today have some GREAT advice!
