What we’re about

We are an active, over 40 group that enjoys hiking, biking, concerts, bowling, a good beer, hikes with dogs, urban hikes, and great times with friends. Please be sure to go to the about section to see our legal disclaimer, guidelines, and guest policy, they can all be found here. waiver and policies (shown below)

Some basic guidelines.
Treat everyone with respect.
Don't be a no-show or cancel at the last minute. If this becomes a pattern, you'll be removed from the group.
If you signed up as a "Yes" and plans change, switch your reply to "No".
If you know upfront that you won't be going, you do not need to reply to the event.
Be prepared with the proper equipment.
We'll start on time, so don't be late.
All end times are estimated, please don't have plans for immediately after any event.
Chip in for gas money.
Bring a bag for your boots, so you don't get mud in the driver's car.
Take turns driving.
Purchase Discover and Forest Passes if you will be hiking. And learn the difference between the two, so you don't get ticketed.
You can buy them at REI or online.
Go to sites like wta.org to learn about the 10 essentials, find trails, etc.

Helpful Hints:

When we list hikes, we'll let you know the difficulty level and the pace.

Example: Moderate 25 minute miles. This will probably be a hike like Rattlesnake Ledge. It's 4 miles roundtrip and 1160 of elevation gain. This means you should be able to get up and down this hike, including a break at the top in under 2 hours.

For Weekend hikes, we'll often go slower, so that we can take more pictures, but we'll still average about 30 minute miles.

Strenuous hikes either have more elevation gain or are much further in distance. Example: Mount Si is 8 miles and 3150 feet of elevation gain.

For your safety and the safety of others, be sure you are able to keep the appropriate pace when signing up for a hike. We are not professional guides and while we do try to keep everyone safe, your safety is your responsibility.

We're doing this as volunteers because we think it's fun and want to share our interests with like minded people. If you enjoy the group, encourage others to join. If you aren't enjoying the group, we hope you'll find another group that better suits your needs.

Happy Trails
