This isn’t a casual RSVP group — and we don’t wait until someone shows up to find out who they are.
Every member is verified and vetted before joining our private hikes, adventures, events, overnight outings, training, lodging etc., or co-hosting circles.

This is a quick conversation to understand:

• Your goals
• Pacing & trail comfort
• Any support needs (gear, travel, etc.)

🎥 It’s not a test — it’s how we match you to the right outing or group.
If you're not able to speak live, you may send info first — but a Zoom check-in is still required before joining hikes.

### 🧾 Already Verified?

If you’ve hiked with us or checked in recently, you might already be good to go.
✅ Look for a Verified badge, DM confirmation, or note in the group post or event details.
