Northwest Hikers 55 Plus

Welcome to the Northwest Hikers 55 Plus website.
FYI: This is a “meetup group”, NOT the “meetup+” which requires a paid subscription, and additional benefits.
Here is the difference between the two: https://www.meetup.com/.blog/new-to-meetup-plus-October-2024/

Our leadership team is made up of volunteers who enjoy experiencing the great scenery the Pacific Northwest region has to offer. We invite like-minded novice or experienced hikers who are ages 55 and up to join us when they can.

To enjoy our surroundings as well as allow for visiting with our fellow hikers, WE SET A SOCIAL PACE and stay with the group.

To become a MEMBER, first, request to join on our website, second, follow the instructions that are sent to you which will include some of the requirements below. You remain in PENDING until further notice.
1. A CLEAR recent picture of yourself without sunglasses is required so we can recognize you on our hikes; your first real name and last name initial.
NOTE: “translucent sunglasses” are acceptable if face is clearly recognizable.

2. An annual WAIVER: Consent, Release Agreement, and Authorization form with a handwritten signature.

3. An annual $10 fee which covers the $389.48 Meet up website expenses, donation to WTA and Northwest Avalanche Center, and annual picnic.

When both waiver and fee are received, the symbol @ and the year goes on your profile, ex:@26. This symbol signifies you are an official member, and can rsvp on hikes and attend its events.

THANK YOU,
Northwest Hikers 55 Plus team
