PLEASE NOTE: Participants need to bring a lunch and wear appropriate footwear and outdoor clothing. Participants should also carry a card in their backpack with pertinent medical information, and an Emergency Contact named with contact details.
We encourage every hiker to lead one hike a year, which still leaves enough for those who wish to lead more.
