Get To Know The Barefoot Hikers
Who Hikes Barefoot?
An inclusive group of people of all ages and experience levels from the PA-NJ-DE-MD area who enjoy hiking through nature without the encumbrance of shoes.
What's a Barefoot Hike?
Hiking without footwear. Walking barefoot through natural terrain is a natural and traditional practice for which human feet were designed and continue to be totally efficient and sufficient.
When Do We Hike?
Regularly throughout spring, summer and fall, as long as weather permits. Hikes usually take place on Saturday or Sunday around noon and typically last an hour to an hour and a half, depending on the experience and stamina of the attendees.
Where Do We Hike?
Hikes are held in local, state, and national parks throughout the tri-state area (usually within a 2 hour or less drive from Philadelphia). Hikes have occurred at the Delaware Canal State Park, Ringing Rocks Park, and Tyler Park. Not local? See other barefoot hiking groups around the country
Why Hike Barefoot?
Hiking barefoot is healthy, sensual, connected to the Earth, and has less erosive environmental impact than hiking in shoes. Plus, it's just plain, simple FUN!
