For this trip, it is important to bring along flexibility, patience, and a sense of humor.
Group Size It is not fun leaving folks out.
If you cannot attend, PLEASE cancel so others may join.
If you are on the waiting list, please contact me days before the trip, most likely there will be room and if needed this trail will allow us to break the group into two smaller groups.
Please do NOT bring any dogs on this hike.
Decreasing the impact on the environment is always a priority! Please plan to “carry in and carry out” all items. It may also be possible to collect other hikers’ debris along the way.
Weather: If the weather is a concern any updates or cancellation information will be posted by the Thursday before 6 pm. If there is a cancellation, it will include a “possible” rescheduled date so participants can watch for that opportunity.
Safety is a priority! Any time a hiker is injured or lost a HUGE team of volunteers is dispatched to aid in the search and rescue efforts. No one wants to be injured or put others in harm’s way. Always be prepared. Know your limits. If you have any questions, feel free to contact the hike leaders.
