Our organizers and hosts are not guides or experts. We are everyday people who like to be active and enjoy ourselves with like-minded folks, so please be kind.
Please know your physical abilities and what you can and cannot hike. If you think a hike may be too challenging/strenuous for you, please find a less challenging hike.
NorCal Trail Trekkers is a non-professional social group. Only you can assess your abilities to attend a hike and are solely responsible for your safety and well-being. Please familiarize yourself with Meetup's Terms of Service. It is your responsibility to know your ability when signing up for a meetup. Please contact the hike organizer with any questions you may have.
