About the Wilderness Adventures Section
Founded in 1980, the Wilderness Adventures Section is one of 36 committees/sections and 16 regional groups that make up the Angeles Chapter of the Sierra Club.
We believe that when you're passionate about the outdoors you work to protect it. We help people discover and enjoy the earth's wilderness, mountains, wetlands, woodlands, seashores, rivers, desert and plains.
Our outings take place all throughout Los Angeles, Orange and Ventura counties, as well as Yosemite, the Sierra Nevada and beyond. We've taken groups to the Grand Canyon, the Humboldt redwoods, Lassen Volcanic National Park, Bryce and Zion National Parks and more.
