Now that the weather is cooler and the November 3 election is over, take time to get out and enjoy nature!

Our active Houston Group outings leader, Brandt Mannchen, has explored several great areas around Houston this year. 

You can join him on his next Sierra Club outing, listed at our Meetup group:
