These are the designations for the four levels of hikes we offer.
The Social hikes are now scheduled for the first four Wednesdays of the month. These meet 3 criteria: less than 5 miles in length; less than 500 feet in ascent; slower and more relaxed pace than the Easy / Moderate hikes.
The Easier hikes may be shorter, less rugged or less steep than the Harder hike.
These are scheduled for Monday and Thursday.
The Harder hike is often led at a faster pace with fewer stops. These are also scheduled for Monday and Thursday
The Challenging category is our newest. These hikes are typically have the Strenuous rating. These are intended for fit experienced hikers and go at a faster pace. These are scheduled for Monday.

This is the number assigned in our Hike Book. Members receive a PDF copy of the book that contains directions to the trail head, description of the hike path and hike profile.
The email address of the hike leader is on the schedule. Contact the hike leader to make a hike reservation.
Each person should share responsibility for transportation to the trailhead – either by driving or paying a Suggested Rider Donation (SRD).
Included in each hike description within the hiking schedule is a SRD for the driver based on the distance driven.
Hikers who share frequently usually choose not to exchange funds.
However, it is recommended that hikers who are passengers offer to help with fuel costs.
