Outdoor Life

Want to get out and enjoy everything that the Tucson area has to offer? The Newcomers Club offers activities for those who want to explore the great outdoors and make the most of this beautiful place we live.

Our outdoor activities have been greatly curtailed during the Pandemic, but check the Activities Calendar (members only) to see which groups are still active now with restrictions in place for your health and safety.

Hiker Chicks

Explore trails in the many mountains and parks of this area.  

You can start with beginning hikes you might want to try and move up to longer trails with steeper climbs.  You can build up to exercise pace and more strenuous hikes for those with more experience. 

Birding

 Join local birding enthusiasts for a walk in one of Tucson’s many parks and get a glimpse of some of the hundreds of species of birds that live in or pass through Tucson regularly.  Your leader will explain why each park attracts particular species, and you will learn to identify them by sight and sound.”

Biking

Join other cyclists for rides of varying pace and difficulty on Tucson's Loop Trail and other local bike routes.
