About Hike & Dine
Rooted in Metro Detroit, we’ve built a community centered around connection, exploration, and stepping outside your everyday surroundings. Here’s a closer look at how it all began, the experiences we create, and the future we’re building as we expand our adventures across the country.
How We Got Started
Hike & Dine began with two best friends who discovered their shared love for nature during the height of the COVID pandemic. After conquering a couple of trails together with other mutual friends, the idea of starting a hiking group took off, and we ran with it. What started as two friends exploring for peace, purpose, and fresh air has grown into a full community movement.
What We Do
We curate intentional outdoor experiences that bring people together, right here in Metro Detroit and far beyond. Our group hosts hikes for all levels, themed adventures, out-of-town trips, and dining experiences that make every outing feel like a full-day vibe. We connect Metro Detroiters with nature, with each other, and with hikers from across the country through community events, networking opportunities, wellness challenges, and unforgettable trails you won’t find in your own backyard.
Our Future Plans
We’re nowhere near the finish line. As our movement grows, we plan to explore new states, launch bigger trips, and create more one-of-a-kind experiences right in our own Metro Detroit communities. From multi-day adventures to expanded collaborations and events, we’re committed to taking Detroiters, and hikers from all over, even further. The journey is just beginning, and we can’t wait for you to be part of what’s next.
Our Mission
At Hike & Dine Events, our mission is to inspire people to step outside, explore nature, and build a community rooted in connection, wellness, and adventure. Based in Southeast Michigan, we encourage Metro Detroit residents to discover the incredible trails, parks, and green spaces in their own backyard, while also introducing our community to breathtaking landscapes across the U.S.
We believe the outdoors should be accessible to everyone. That’s why we offer hikes for all experience levels, from beginners to seasoned explorers, and curate experiences that blend movement, exploration, and the joy of dining together. Whether we’re strolling Detroit’s Riverwalk, hiking local hidden gems, or venturing to places like Arizona’s desert trails or the Smoky Mountains, our goal is the same: to create meaningful, memorable, and welcoming outdoor experiences.
Hike & Dine Events is more than a hiking group... it’s a movement. We’re here to build community, spark adventure, and show that the outdoors is closer, richer, and more accessible than you think.
