How to Sign up for Hike
-
-
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- At the discretion of the hike facilitator and when permitted by the local regulations, dogs may be invited on hikes. See TD Hiking FAQ
