This outing schedule includes hikes for all four groups. Each group leads a wide variety of hikes at diverse times. Levels of experience and fitness required are described. It is always wise to contact the leader of the hike before arriving at the trailhead, especially if you have questions. Prior to the hike, you will be requested to sign a release form. A version of this outing schedule can also be found in the Condor Call, the Club newspaper.
Prior to the hike, you will be requested to sign a liability release form which will be available at the meeting location. Minors must be accompanied by an adult or have written parental permission giving phone number and authorization for continuing treatment by an MD in case of emergencies. Minors must have a parent sign the Youth Liability Waiver for them. A minor is anyone under the age of 18 years. The outing leader has the discretion not to allow minors.
