Hike Beyond The Hills

In 2015, CeCe Lorthioir organized a group of five to hike Mt. Baldy as a trainer for a trip to the Inca Trail. This resulted in the creation of Hike Beyond the Hills. Today, it has over 500 members. Her mission as a hike leader strives to build and support a community of responsible hikers who prioritize safety. A seasoned and passionate hiker, CeCe has lead group hikes and conquered Mt. Whitney, Mt. Langley, White Mountain, and numerous other trails in SoCal, Eastern Sierras and beyond. CeCe is a RN, certified in CPR, Basic Life Support and Wilderness First Aid. She is an official Ambassador for Six Pack of Peaks.

This is a hiking group for those who are ready and want to challenge themselves to hike steep terrain and high-elevation mountain trails. Our hiking pace is generally 2-3 miles/hour, and 1.0 mile/hour on very steep incline. Some of our hikes do not have a sweeper, so you'll need to be able to keep up with us and find a partner when we hike in big groups. For your safety and everyone else's, please select hikes at your level of ability or below.
