Hello,
WELCOME!!! Thank you for your interest in our Marin Women's Hiking Group. We have an amazing group of women!! We ask that everyone who joins respects the group dynamic and kindly removes themselves from an event that they may not be able to attend as soon as possible to allow others to join. Not cancelling your participation 24 hours before an event, will result in a "no-show". After 2 "no-shows" members will be removed from the group. If you are on the waitlist, please monitor your participation and also remove yourself if you cannot attend. We strive to start our hikes ON TIME, so please be considerate of the group and plan to arrive early and be ready to go on time.

Pace:
Please note that we hike at about 25 minutes per mile (sometimes 20/22) on average, even while going up and down. We don't rush but we also don't take a lot of breaks. We make bathroom, water and short snack breaks and sometimes take a photo or two. We stop at junctions to make sure we're all together. If it's a longer hike, we may stop for lunch and that will be included in the hike description above. If you are "significantly" lagging behind the group, you may need to turn around or be ok continuing on your own. Please be sure you have the fitness level before signing up for a hike.

Elevation:
If the elevation statistics means nothing to you, think of it as:
1000 feet of elevation gain = ~100 flights of stairs.
Please look at the stats and know what you're signing up for and that you have the fitness level required for the hike.

And most importantly, please come with a supportive, friendly and open attitude towards the other members. We have a wonderful, supportive, inspiring group of women and look forward to you adding your own special color and flavor!

Thank you!

We look forward to hiking and chatting with you.
