The Hiking Group's aim is to get out on excursions at least once a week. Our hikes range from about 3 hours to all day. Hikes can be on any day of the week with start times optimized for the conditions. There is plenty of variety in our offerings, from gently rolling trails to climbing Mt Becher or Mt Elma. We hike year round when conditions are safe to do so.
Emails announcing hikes are sent out a few days before the event. When the weather systems are unsettled, it isn't always possible to give a lot of forewarning about an upcoming hike and so we ask for your patience. Members who signup for a hike are invited to gather at a carpooling location which is announced along with the hike details. Look for fellow hikers standing in a group, waiting for the departure time. A suggested "thank you" for carpool drivers is included in each hike confirmation email.
A description and pictures of recent hikes can be seen by scrolling through the Activity Group News pages.
