Began in the Summer of 1986 as an informal Hiking group. We're not a outfitter, not a guide service, and not a singles ministry; but a non profit, non-commercial outdoor hiking group in Utah.
OWJ FOCUS: It's all about Jesus!
In humility consider others as more important than yourselves; with Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness and Self Control.
OWJ MEMBERSHIP
MEMBERSHIP is FREE.
Open to SINGLE and MARRIED ADULTS.
Your KIDS and TEENS may attend easier activities, if you watch, supervise and are responsible for their safety and medical emergencies.
DOGS are welcome on our Dog Friendly hikes and not in protected Watershed areas. Bring clean up bags. And know off leash areas and days.
GEAR is your responsibility. Bring water, food,
sunscreen, hat, bug spray, first aid, toilet paper, hiking pole, jacket, hiking shoes, and dress appropriate for each activity.
NO SMOKING on our hikes.
STAY HOME if you are feeling sick.
RELEASE/WAIVER must be signed once a year. You are responsible for your own insurance coverage and medical emergencies. To keep this a free club, we do not provide insurance coverage. It is up to you to know your own physical limitations. You need to obey park and forest land rules and watershed regulations.
OWJ HIKING RATINGS
NEWBIES ~ Easiest hiking, great for beginners and KIDS.
MODERATE ~ More challenging, at your own pace hiking.

WINTER ACTIVITIES
For our winter snow hikes and snowshoeing:
You'll need insulated SNOW BOOTS; your feet will get very cold in regular hiking shoes and boots.
For snow hiking, we recommend that you bring ICE CLEATS CRAMPONS, to attach to your snow boots and bring snowshoe poles.
SNOWSHOEING, make sure you bring poles with baskets.
DRESS IN LAYERS, the colder the temperature the more layers you'll need. Avoid cotton.
WOOL SOCKS, WOOL KNIT HAT, INSULATED GLOVES, SUNGLASSES, SUNSCREEN, WATER, HANDWARMERS, ENERGY SNACKS, and THERMOS to put in your day pack.
PLEASE STAY HOME if you are sick and not feeling well.
MEETING
Arrive at MEET time, to sign in and arrange carpooling. If you're new, you might have a hard time finding our meet location. You can search locations on Google Maps.

CARPOOLING, please help your driver with gas, park and canyon fees. Drivers have the right to choose passengers.
SLOW HIKERS, it's wise to bring a friend to hike at your own pace. Please rest when the group takes a break.
