Hikes designated as photo hikes travel at a slower pace to allow for photo opportunities. This may be frustrating to faster hikers so please consider your hiking goals prior to signing up for designated photo hikes.
If you RSVP for an event and you decide you can't make it please change your RSVP so others are not waiting!! Those who continuously sign up for hikes and are no shows may be removed from the next hike at the discretion of the group leaders. If you are no show for 3 hikes you will be removed from the group.
If you have any hiking suggestions please feel free to contact me or any of the other leaders / organizers.
