What to bring: Hiking boots/sneakers with good traction, dress for the weather (layers are your friend!), sunglasses, phone/camera, water, snacks. This time of year trails may be icy/snowy even when walking on paved surfaces, plan accordingly with your footwear.

Due to the larger group setting, no dogs or pets (unless they are working/service animals.)

We will cap sign-ups at 40 attendees. This ensures everyone joining us has a comfortable hiking experience and avoids negatively impacting the experience of others recreating on the trails.

Upon signing up for this hike you are agreeing to hike at your own risk. This organization (#youcanhikewithus) is not legally liable for injuries, damages, or potential covid-19 exposure that could happen to the individual.

If you don’t feel well the day of the hike, please stay home. We’ll catch you at a future meetup and hope you feel better soon.

See you on the trail!
