Facebook Meetup Groups

These Facebook groups are useful to find hiking/scrambling, and even climbing partners:

Difference between Alberta Hikers Together and:

  • Find Hiking Groups/Partners, Alberta:
    • The two groups have very similar goals and rules.
    • Find Hiking Groups/Partners, Alberta has more members and is a bit more active.
    • Alberta Hikers Together encourages posting specific hiking events (come up with a suggestion you'd like to hike, and a meeting time), whereas Find Hiking Groups/Partners, Alberta has a lot of posts about people looking for hiking buddies without specific hikes in mind.
    • Alberta Hikers Together is a public group, so when cross posting in different groups, it's easier to post first in Alberta Hikers Together, and then share to the other groups.
  • Alberta Hikers & Climbers:
    • Alberta Hikers & Climbers caters to those with an intermediate to advanced skill level in either hiking or climbing.
    • The Alberta Hikers & Climbers community is more tight-knit, and not just focused on finding hiking partners. People ask and post about trail conditions, avalanche and crevasse rescue courses, scrambling routes, indoor climbing events, etc.
    • Alberta Hikers & Climbers is a place where you interact with people first (share tips, ask information, etc) to build connections, and then find hiking/scrambling/climbing partners as a result of the interaction.
