National Hike With A Geek Day
The techies, geeks, IT gurus, and gamers are encouraged to take a Geek Day on June 20th to step out into the stunning landscapes of nature, rather than desk exercise.

The day isn't limited to the tech-savvy who code in code. Nor is it limited to emoticon-loving, web-surfing fact finders. If you've ever texted your significant other from another room or checked to see if Alexa has the ability to restart the dryer, you obviously meet the requirements for this occasion. Both as a way to unplug from technology and to re-engage with the people around them, #HikeWithAGeekDay is a call to all those who can pronounce osmium correctly the first time, number crunchers, and every field of scientific research to refresh and stretch their horizons.
This is also the summer solstice, which takes place on June 20th. It's the perfect time to bring your nearest, dearest geek, and brave the neighboring wilderness for some adventure.
With a geek day, you can plan a national hike with a geek day
Geeks beware! You'll be cajoled, coaxed, and perhaps prodded by colleagues and loved ones. But, this is your day. Go, take the lead. When asked, surprise them by taking out your hiking boots, map, and compass. If your geeks have been waiting for just this moment all along, don't be surprised if you're not surprised.

A geek day in history has a national hike with a geek day theme
Hiking with Geeks, now known as Geek Adventures, founded National Hike with a Geek Day to bring geeks outside of the virtual world where journies, human interactions, and exploration take place outside of the virtual world. Hiking with Geeks was founded in 2016 by Mendel Kurland, who discovered he had been skipping out on Mother Nature.
