Notes
- Registration is required.
- Read all Guidelines and Liability Waiver information before registering for a hike.
- You may only register yourself. Liability waiver is part of registration process. Guests can access registration 1 week in advance through Meetup, Facebook, or Eventbrite.
- Should you need to cancel, do so online through Eventbrite. Contact hike leader with day of cancellations. Repeated no shows without prior cancellation will be removed from list.
- Dogs are not permitted unless specified.
Prepare
- Arrive to the starting point 10 minutes ahead of time so the hike can start promptly.
- Bring water. Wear hiking boots, preferably waterproof, with good traction devices and poles (optional) to navigate possible slippery areas.
- Times are our best estimates, but can vary depending on conditions, and the size or pace of a group.
FAQ

- How do I know when a hike is cancelled? Steady rain cancels, but intermittent drizzle does not. You will not be notified. If you are unsure, contact hike leader (day of only).
