Adventure Club is a co-ed community built around one simple idea: life is better when we move, play, and explore together.
Each meetup blends guided outdoor adventure and social connection—think scenic hikes, outdoor yoga flows, field games, scavenger hunts, and surprise pop-up challenges designed to get you laughing, moving, and meeting new people along the way. No experience needed, just a willingness to show up and try something different.
Find your wild.
Find your people.

Need a little reset? Come take a walk with us.
October is the perfect time to slow down, get outside, and soak up all the beauty of fall in Asheville.
Join us for an easy, guided walk through the Botanical Gardens where we’ll step away from the everyday hustle, breathe some fresh mountain air, and reconnect with ourselves and the people around us.
This isn’t a serious hike or a meditation class. Think slow stroll + beautiful scenery + mindful moments + good conversation + new connections.
Along the way, we’ll pause to take in the changing leaves, notice the little things around us, stretch, breathe, and give ourselves permission to simply slow down for a while.
Come solo, bring a friend, or show up knowing no one—we’re here to make it easy to connect.
Enjoy the fall colors
Get outside and reset
Slow down & clear your head
Meet new people
Easy, relaxed pace
No hiking or meditation experience needed
Come take a break from the busy and spend a little time outside with good humans.

🍂 ARTEMIS FALL FOLIAGE HIKE 🍁
The leaves are changing, the air is getting crisp, and we think that is a pretty solid excuse to go wander around in the woods together. 😂
Join us for an easygoing fall foliage hike through Bent Creek at Hard Times Trail — just a few minutes from Asheville.
🍁 THE PLAN
📍 Hard Times Trailhead
📅 November 5th
⏰ Meet at 5:00 PM
🥾 Hike starts at 5:15 PMWe’ll take the Hard Times Trail at a relaxed group pace, soaking up the changing leaves, chatting, taking approximately 700 unnecessary photos of trees 😂, and enjoying that very specific ✨fall in the mountains✨ feeling.
The full Hard Times Loop is about 6 miles, but we will NOT be doing the entire loop for this event. We’re keeping this one shorter and turning around based on our group pace and available daylight so we can enjoy the trail without racing back to the cars in the dark.
🌲 WHAT TO EXPECT
Think:
🍂 colorful hardwood forest
🍁 crunchy leaves
🌿 Bent Creek woods
⛰️ gentle rolling terrain
🦌 possible wildlife sightings
📸 plenty of photo opportunities
😂 probably at least one person saying “wait, this is SO pretty” every 10 minutesHard Times is generally considered an easier/moderate trail with a gradual feel rather than a giant mountain climb, making it a good option for a social after-work hike. The area also connects into a much larger trail network, so there are plenty of ways to explore depending on the group and conditions. (Explore Asheville)
🥾 WHAT TO BRING
Fall in the mountains can be a little unpredictable, so dress for “warm at the trailhead, colder than expected once the sun disappears.”
✔️ Comfortable hiking shoes with good traction
✔️ Water
✔️ Light jacket or fleece
✔️ Extra layer — especially if you’re someone who gets cold easily
✔️ Headlamp or small flashlight JUST IN CASE
✔️ Bug spray if you’re still getting eaten alive 😂
✔️ Small snack if you need one
✔️ Phone + portable charger
✔️ Rain jacket if the forecast is questionable🍂 IMPORTANT: Leaves + rain = slippery roots and rocks. If the trail is wet, expect some mud and watch your footing. Fall foliage is beautiful; eating dirt is optional.
🚗 PARKING
We’ll meet at Hard Times Trailhead, 375 Wesley Branch Rd. Parking can get busy, so please try to arrive a little early and allow yourself time to get parked.
🌙 AND BECAUSE IT’S FALL…
Sunset comes early, so please don’t show up thinking we’re starting at 6:30. 😂 We want enough daylight to actually enjoy the trail and get everyone safely back to the trailhead.
Come for the leaves.
Stay for the questionable trail conversations.
Leave with a few new hiking friends. 🫶Find your people. Find your wild. 🍂🌙

🍂🎨 PAINT THE FALL WITH ARTEMIS 🎨🍂
What if we took our paint supplies, hiked up to one of the prettiest overlooks around Asheville, and painted whatever the hell we wanted while the mountains turned gold around us?
Yeah. We’re doing that. 😂
✨ PAINT THE FALL FOLIAGE AT CRAGGY PINNACLE ✨
📅 Nov 18
⏰ Meet at 5:30 PM
📍 Craggy Gardens / Craggy Pinnacle OverlookWe’ll take the short, easy hike up to the overlook together, set up our little outdoor art studio, and spend the evening painting while we watch the fall colors and sunset.
🎨 NO ART EXPERIENCE REQUIRED.
We’ll have:
🖌️ Paint supplies
🎨 Everything you need to create your masterpiece
🧑🎨 A fun instructor there to guide you and give you ideas
🖼️ Your own easel
🍂 An absolutely ridiculous mountain view for inspirationBut this isn’t a “paint exactly what the instructor paints” kind of class.
Paint whatever you want.
Paint the mountains.
Paint the leaves.
Paint the sunset.
Paint your dog from memory.
Paint something completely abstract because you have no idea what you’re doing. 😂There are no rules. Just come make something pretty outside with us.
💰 $10 per person
The $10 covers your paint supplies + easel.
You can pay ahead of time through the Artemis website or pay in person when you arrive.
🌅 WHY 5:30 PM?
We’ll hike up, get settled, paint, and enjoy the fall foliage while the sun goes down.
We’ll stay through the end of sunset, then pack everything up and head back down before it gets too dark to comfortably make our way back to the parking area.
🍁 WHAT TO BRING
This is a short, easy overlook hike, but remember: mountain weather has a personality of its own. 😂
Bring:
🥾 Comfortable shoes with good traction
🧥 Cozy layers / warm jacket
🧢 Hat or beanie if you’re a cold-weather girlie
🧤 Gloves if your hands get cold easily
🧺 Your own blanket to sit on / cozy up with
💧 Water
🥨 A snack if you want one
🔦 Small flashlight or headlamp — just in case
☔️ Rain jacket if the forecast looks questionable
📱 Phone/camera for all the fall foliage photosAnd please dress warmer than you think you need to. Once the sun goes down at elevation, it can get chilly FAST.
🍂🎨 Come paint the mountains with us.
Bring your creativity, your coziest fall layers, and absolutely zero expectations of becoming the next Van Gogh.
Just come hang out, make something, watch the sunset, and enjoy a little mountain magic with your Artemis people. 🫶
Find your people. Find your wild. Find your inner artist. 🌙🎨
✨ RSVP + grab your $10 paint spot!
