Great Friends, Great Times, Great Outdoors!

Welcome to Great Outdoors Los Angeles!

Join us to enjoy, explore, and learn about the beauty of nature, and the urban wonders where we live. You are welcome whether a hardcore enthusiast or a curious newbie.

Our volunteers plan and lead welcoming, fun and affordable events so everyone can participate, including day hikes, camping trips, backpacking, social gatherings, potlucks, concerts, museums and more!

Volunteering is greatly rewarding, appreciated by everyone, and is one of the best reasons for joining.

Camping trips require membership, but hikes and most day-outings do not. Join any chapter and get membership privileges for events of all Chapters. 

See more membership info.

Hope to see you soon in the Great Outdoors!
