  • 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.

  • 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.
