The People Behind the Club

Meet Our Team

A small group of volunteers who organize hikes around St. John's and the Avalon Peninsula.

Scott Adams, Founder

Founder

Scott Adams

Scott launched the St. John's Hike Club in January 2025 with a simple goal: get people outside and moving together on the trails around St. John's. What started as a Signal Hill loop with a small crew has grown into an active hiking community with events, sponsors, and a full season of adventures on the East Coast Trail.
