About WNC Hiking Hub
WNC Hiking Hub's mission is to connect outdoor enthusiasts in Western North Carolina who want to explore the beauty of the region while enjoying the company of like-minded adventurers.
The idea for this app arose when Meetup drastically increased its fees, forcing many small hiking groups to shut down. WNC Hiking Hub aims to provide a free and community-focused alternative to help hikers connect and organize adventures together.
