"So get out there and mess around with your friends, ramble out yonder and explore the forests, encounter the grizz, climb the mountains. Run the rivers, breathe deep of that yet sweet and lucid air, sit quietly for a while and contemplate the precious stillness, that lovely, mysterious and awesome space. Enjoy yourselves, keep your brain in your head and your head firmly attached to the body, the body active and alive, and I promise you this much: I promise you this one sweet victory over our enemies, over those deskbound people with their hearts in a safe deposit box and their eyes hypnotized by desk calculators. I promise you this: you will outlive the bastards." -Edward Abbey

Escape the city and clear the anthracotic pigment from your lungs. Enjoy crisp fall days, peaceful winter snowfalls, and vibrant green springs... get out with the Outdoors Club! We plan several excursions per year. This year our trips included a fall foliage hike up Hunter Mountain, a winter hike up Peekamoose and Table Mountains, and a wilderness medication workshop in Ithaca, NY.

We're always looking for trip leaders and new ideas. If someone wants to lead a trip-rock climbing, hiking, canoeing, etc... let us know!
