Welcome to Metro-Detroit-Outdoor-Hiking Meetup! Here is important information about our Meetup hosted by Sierra Club's Southeast Michigan Group.

About Activities
• Volunteers leaders have completed Sierra Club's Outdoor Leadership Certification
• Outings reflect the interests of the leader who decides all aspects of the outing
• Participation in Sierra Club activities requires registration and acceptance of a waiver, which you can complete online while registering and is accepted automatically by signing-in to the event
• Registering in Sierra Club's portal speeds up the sign-in process and reduces paperwork for leaders
• Meetups/outings are free, but we do accept donations at https://givebutter.com/FKXYFb
• You can also view all our hikes and register at:

Participant Responsibility
• Each is responsible for own safe/well-being
• Carefully read the outing description to understand the activity
• “hiking” means unpaved trails/roots/rocks/hills/crevices/etc.
• 5 miles hiking is much more strenuous than the same miles on a sidewalk
• Children welcome IF they can behave appropriately and complete the activity

Meeting Places and Costs
• If ridesharing (not required), passengers should share driver’s gas/entrance fee costs
• For liability reasons, the activity officially starts at the trailhead, not the meeting spot
• Optional restaurant stop sometimes follows outing

Basic Guidelines
• Arrive early, come dressed and equipped appropriate to the activity and weather
• Inform the leader of any problems/needs (rest/water/food/toilet)
• Stay with the group, neither ahead nor behind; do not leave without telling a leader
• Follow all park rules

Thank you for joining and we hope that you will check us out by participating in several activities.
