About Our
Club
The Glendale Hiking Club was founded in 1982 and
is sponsored by Glendale Parks and Recreation
The Club was
organized to provide organized hikes and educational activities. Programs on
previous events, trails,
conservancy efforts, and plants and animals of the southwest occur at
Club meetings. We are active in environmental
issues
and support a number of conservation groups.
Club outings allow for
full participation according to skill level from the new to the experienced
hiker. We rely on Club
members
to lead our activities. The Club has hikes on most Saturdays and some
Sundays and weekdays. We have
an active
Thursday morning group that schedules varied hikes.
Sponsored
activities include day hikes, backpacks, car camps, community service projects,
and occasional special
events
such as rafting and cross-country skiing. Members are informed about activities
through the newsletter,
, and the
Hotline. See the current newsletter for the latest
club news or visit our list of planned
activities for the month.
During Club hikes, we stop for
lunch or a snack break. So, bring food and water. After Club hikes,
we like to stop for food,
coffee,
ice cream or other treats.
There is a Frequently
Asked Questions (FAQ) Page, which attempts to ask a
number of questions you might have about the
club.
There is also a Directory Page. Which
contains useful information such as phone numbers, club meeting info, an
email
form to

hikes, and links to photos of hikes provided
by
members. There is also a Forms Page which contains an
Application forms that can be printed out and mailed.
