Where to find information to start hiking/climbing and other outdoors stuff?

Q. Im a 23 year old female and I want to start hiking, climbing, camping, and other outdoor activities. None of my current friends do these activities so I have no one to go with or turn to for advise.

I'm basically trying to find out what associations or groups there are that I can join.

and

If there are any magazines or websites to subscribe to.


BTW I live in Virginia

Thanks!

Answer
Virginia is a big state -- if you live near Glen Allen or near the NC border, go to one of the REI outdoor stores. Here's their site with location in the VA area.

http://www.rei.com/map/store

They offer rock climbing instruction classes and hiking and backpacking outings. They also sell and rent gear like tents, sleeping bags and backpacks. There is great rock climbing in North Carolina especially so you should be able to find lots of resources for that. Look in the phone book for independent shops that sell climbing and backpacking gear as well. Most offer intro courses and have information on local active groups.

Also look online at :

http://rockclimbing.meetup.com/cities/us/va/arlington/

This shows Meetup groups in the Arlington, VA, area. Just enter your city at the top right and any activity in the top left field (like hiking, kayaking or backpacking). These groups are a great, no cost way to connect with other people who can help teach you outdoor skills.
