FTA Hikers

The beauty of the Foresthill Divide is probably best appreciated on foot. There are some places that you can't get to any other way and there you can see things as they always have been, unaltered by humans. There is always more to discover for those who have the eyes to see.

The FTA has many active hikers who love to roam the canyons and know the trees, flowers and birds by name.

We also have Youth outings that often include hiking.
