1. Please meet at each hike location at 8:45 AM so we can step off promptly at 9 AM. This may help us return to the cars by 11 AM.
2. We hike rain or shine, although lightning will cancel a hike.
3. Wear comfortable footwear with good grips on the soles and socks that wick moisture away from your feet.
4. Wear layers and avoid cotton on a cool day.
5. Apply bug repellant and sunblock.
6. Bring a snack and water-please drink plenty of water especially as it warms up.
7. Walking sticks are helpful for your balance and it puts less pressure on your knees on a downhill trail.
8. Check for ticks after each hike.
9. Please stay together as a group. Make sure you can see the person in front of you.
10. Carpool to the hikes if possible-sometimes parking is limited.
11. Check a map to go along with my written directions. If you are confused, call me or email.
12. We have 8 official hikes, but I have also listed a number of what I call unofficial hikes. These vary in length, time, etc. I have not hiked most of these trails ahead of time, so they can be an adventure. I have tried to give you as much information as I can, but being flexible is a positive trait on these treks.
