About Us

The Ramblers is one of the oldest continuous clubs on the University of Arizona campus. The club creates a campus-wide resource for outdoor enthusiasts by providing resources, expertise, and a forum for people to meet so the outdoor world is accessible and fun for everyone. Hiking Club activities vary from educational speakers about wilderness camping and hiking safety, to short day hikes in nearby desert and mountain areas, to extended backpack, camping, and canyoneering trips, with the occasional spelunking thrown in.

All club activities are open to the public; as such, we do not require members to pay dues. The only costs associated with the Hiking Club are personal and group expenses such as fuel, equipment, permit fees, and the like. Camping equipment, books and maps arealso available for loan to members.

Ramblers is a member-driven club, i.e., all hikes are planned by individual members on their own initiative. The more people plan hikes, the better the club becomes; so, if there is a hike you would like to do, then by all means either plan it or request help in planning it by posting to the listserv. In case of any questions, communicate with the club via the listserve or at a club meeting.
