How can I find a hiking buddy or group

[JourneyArnold]

Sure! Here are four different ways to find a hiking buddy or group:

**Check Social Media**: Join local hiking groups on platforms like Facebook or Meetup. You can find people in your area who are looking to hike and maybe even join a group hike!

**Visit Local Outdoor Stores**: Sometimes, outdoor shops host events or have bulletin boards where people post about hiking buddies. You could even ask the staff if they know of any local groups.

**Use Hiking Apps**: There are apps specifically for finding hiking partners, like Meetup or AllTrails. You can connect with other hikers, see their planned trips, and join in!
