Southern Sierra Conditioning Hikes

Please bring a headlamp or flashlight and plenty of water. We will hike 6.0 to 6.5 miles - up to 1,500' elevation gain in about 2 hours.

This is an intense (advanced) conditioning hike and not for beginner hikers. However, we welcome hikers trying to jump from the intermediate or moderate conditioning level and will never leave anyone behind. Our track is a natural for an interval workout - climb - recover, drop down - climb more...

IMPORTANT: Your host is not a professional trainer. The host of this hike only knows the right trails to take and in what order. This course and the pace of the hike it is 100% optional to each who attend.

*****************************************************

GUESTS Due to the limited number of hiking spots, and the need for each person to read and understand the safety rules, no guests will be allowed, so please have your guest sign up to become a member of the club.

Thank you for your understanding and willingness to help us all be as safe as possible on the trails.

Sincerely,

Southern Sierra Hiking Club Co-organizers:

Leah Carter, Bill Baugher, & Tony Sarzotti
