Hotlanta
Adventures is a younger-adult (18yo-40's) volunteer-based club that provides the
opportunity to make new acquaintances and build friendships
while experiencing the adventures of the great outdoors and other
similar shared interest. Our main goals are fun, fitness,
and friendships while learning about nature, the environment and
the great outdoors.
Some of our excursions include hiking,
camping, urban/mountain
biking/cycling, whitewater rafting, caving/spelunking, horseback riding,
canoeing, kayaking,
rappelling, rock climbing, cabining, fishing, geocaching, and other outdoor activities.

the nation’s many trails and pathways is a great way for
all Americans to have fun and, at the same time, get some
valuable exercise.”
