Dear Hiker,

Please read our "Trail Policies", "Suggestions to Hikers" and "New Member FAQ". This information will tell you more about the club's etiquette and things a hiker needs to know before starting to hike with us.

You are always welcome to hike with us as a guest; however, there is a guest fee of $2.00.
