Appropriate footwear, either hiking boots or shoes designed for hiking trails (e.g. trailrunners) are strongly recommended for all hikes.  If you are new to hiking, helpful suggestions can be found in Take a Hike.  This document will also provide a list of what you are expected to bring on a hike.


In addition to being properly equipped, hikers must be aware of their own abilities and limitations.  They must also follow the instructions of activity leaders.  This includes instructions related to preventing the spread of the COVID-19 virus.  If the activity leader determines that the participation of any member or guest in that activity would compromise the safety of themselves or others, then the leader has the authority to refuse the participation of that individual in that activity.

Hike Registration


Registering for a hike is accomplished by contacting the hike leader.  Their contact information (email or phone number) will appear in the hike announcement.  You must contact the hike leader  prior to the date of the scheduled hike.
