Choosing A HikeYour Physical Condition and Experience are important factors when selecting a hike. Be honest with yourself in choosing a hike you will be comfortable with. For example if you have never been on a hike before, you may want to start with an EASY hike. Do not select a hike likely to be beyond your ability without first checking with the hike coordinator. If you choose to participate in a hike beyond your ability, you will be expected to bring along three other hikers who can keep you company at your pace. If you do the latter, expect to turn around if the main group meets you on their return and you share a vehicle with any of them. Distances include the total round trip covered. Elevation Gain represents the gain in height from the base/start point to the highest point reached usually the destination. NOTE: In cases where more than one ascent and descent is encountered along the trail, the total elevation gain/loss could be significantly greater than the difference in elevation between the high point and the trailhead. Check your guidebooks and/or phone the Hike Coordinator for more complete information.
Members are encouraged to check the calendar at least weekly to obtain up-to-date information on hikes including additions to the schedule, changes & cancellations, and other useful information & reminders.
