Hike Schedule & Early Bird Registration

March 2024

Thank you for being a current member and a part of the SMC Hiking Program! To make everything easier for you to register and join a hike, we are accepting all registrations on Meetup only. Eventbrite may be used in the future for special events, but for now all weekly hikes will flow through Meetup.

Please note, by registering for a hike on Meetup, you are also agreeing to the 2024 SMC Liability and Covid Waiver.
Please contact Penni Malakates with any questions.

Again, no need to register in Eventbrite - we are only using Meetup!

SMC Hiking Guidelines

As a current SMC member, you can pre-register for any of these hikes.

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 one week in advance through Meetup, Instagram or Facebook.
Should you need to cancel, do so online through Meetup. 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.
