My hiking style is to stop frequently by creeks, wild-flower meadows, geological marvels and conversation, and not to rush through it. We stay together as a group but spread out for physical distancing. I reserve the right to remove anyone from the hike anytime based on their fitness level, attendance record, incomplete profile, or negative attitude.
- If you are on the going list, and decide to cancel, please change your RSVP to "No" asap. Canceling after 9pm on Friday will result in a no-show on your record.
