How to Sign up for Hike

      1. Before signing up for a hike, be sure to determine if the hike is appropriate for you!  Read the specific hike description in the Hike Library  to make sure it is a match for your skill level and physical ability.  After a conversation with a hiker or based on recent experience, a hike facilitator may recommend that said hiker not join the hike.
      2.  Sign up by following the links in the calendar below for the hike i.e. click on “Signup/Cancel”.  Unless otherwise noted, hike signups ends by 6 pm of the day before a hike.
      3. If a hiker needs to cancel on a hike that he/she has signed up for and if it is before the stated time cutoff, go to the “Signup/Cancel” for the hike and mark “I need to cancel”.  If it is after stated cutoff,  hiker needs to contact the hike facilitator directly.
      4. If a hike facilitator or coordinator decides to cancel a hike (due to weather or otherwise), an email will be sent out by 7 am on the day of the hike.  Hikers should always check  their emails before leaving for the meet up.
      5. At the discretion of the hike facilitator and when permitted by the local regulations, dogs may be invited on hikes.  See  TD Hiking FAQ

    Comments:      Hiking poles are mandatory! 15 miles, 3146' Elev. Gain. We may modify the AllTrails route, shortening the hike a few miles to 13.4 miles by eliminating a few of the side trips such as Summit Lake and Warren Lake, unless people want to swim. We can make a decision as a group before we start. Hiking poles are mandatory! Bring a lawn chair for the finish to enjoy cold beer, sodas and chips.
