HEALTH:
If you have any medical conditions that could be a factor during this hike, please feel free to speak with the host so they can be best prepared in the event of an emergency. This is voluntary. All information will be kept confidential. I am NOT a paramedic and our response is limited. It is better to plan ahead, instead of making last minute decisions in what is usually a worst-case-scenario.

CARPOOLING:
I strive to keep groups to a medium size (up to 20) in order to keep groups manageable and together. The number of members able to attend this hike is dependent on the number of vehicles available. Please indicate if you have a vehicle. Only once you have been added to the Going list, should you contact carpool drivers to add your name to their vehicle.

The payment for carpool is: $5 dollars CDN per hour of driving per person. (~5 x $5 = $25)
