Hi Unlikely Hikers & friends,
Jenny Bruso, here! When things get quiet for us it’s because we’ve got a lot going on. We’re busy at work organizing for 2023 and it’s going to be a really big year. In fact, we were supposed to take December and January off from events to stay focused, but… a few Pacific Northwest dates somehow snuck in there—and they are SOON! Our #OptOutside events, in partnership with REI, are weekend after next. Head to unlikelyhikers.org/events to register NOW.
Newsletter subscribers always get 24-hour priority registration when you note on the registration form that you’re a newsletter subscriber in the “How did you find out about this event?” space.
December 31 – Portland, OR — registration opens 12/16
We’ll begin leading group hikes nationwide again in February 2023! We’ll give you a sneak peak soon. And always remember to note the registration opening dates. So many of our events have been filling up in less than a day.
New merch!
We just had a massive merch drop last week. We finally have tank tops! Just in time for winter… and we’ve got a special discount code for our Newsletter subscribers. Use code “COLORSANDCOLORS” at checkout for 15% off everything in the shop through Monday, December 5th. Shop now: unlikelyhikers.org/shop
