WHKSAB hikes are not set up as guided hikes. We will provide basic info on trails. Everyone will hike on their own (within their own group) and at their own pace. We recommend you ALWAYS hike with at least one other person. Make sure if you attend by yourself at least one other person in your hiking group knows who you are. Please have emergency contact info and necessary medical info noted on a card in your backpack. It is a good idea to let someone in your hiking group know the location of your emergency contact info/medical info.

We suggest that each hiker utilizes the AllTrails app during the hike and previews the trails prior to hike day. You will need to download info from AllTrails before going into the hike due to possible low and/or zero Wi-Fi capability. A paid version of AllTrails is needed for this download and access to it since there will most likely be no Wi-Fi signal in the hike areas. At least one person in each hiking group should have a paid version of AllTrails. Specific hiking trails will be discussed at a later date.

Please download these trails in your AllTrails app after you are notified which trails we will be hiking. We will share the proposed itinerary approximately one-two weeks prior to the event.

An in-person informational meeting will be held to go over trip details and to answer questions. It will be held on February 7th. This event has already been posted on Facebook. Please refer to this event for meeting details and to register your attendance to the meeting.

Hikers make their own lodging accommodations. Please start your research work now regarding accommodations. We encourage everyone to stay at YMCA of the Rockies in Estes Park. You are welcome to stay anywhere you would like to though. All meetings will be held at the YMCA. All pre-hike meet-ups will be at the YMCA. There are specific dates you can begin making reservations at the YMCA. We will discuss this at the February 7th meeting, or you may research the YMCA of the Rockies website for further information.
