What is Xtreme Hike?

Join Our Meetup Group “Xtreme-Hikers-Hiking-for-a-cure-of-Cystic-Fibrosis” to get notifications and info concerning our training hikes.

What’s “Meetup”? Meetup is a social networking site that allows you to find and join groups related to your personal interests. We use it to organize our training hikes. It allows the hiking leaders to post details about the hike, such as date, location, etc. We also include a description of the particular trail. In addition, you can see who is attending and how many others are participating. (Great for carpooling). Meetup is a free site and a valuable tool for us.
