Hiking Instructions 

• All participants signup in Meetup to participate in a hike or join a waitlist if not enough room.
• Hike leader should notify in Meetup participants in case of change of weather, etc.
• Participants should cancel in Meetup as soon as possible if they cannot make it on the trip, so members on a waitlist have a chance.
• Hike leader needs to discuss individual skills with each participant to ensure they are ready for the challenges of the specific hike.
• Participants should refer to suggested hiking equipment list.
• When hiking, lead and rear hikers should be readily seen. Person in front should wait for the slower hikers.
• The last two cars of each trip should leave together so no one gets stranded.
• Hike leader needs to be assertive as necessary; if in doubt, the hike leader is in charge and should not be questioned.
• There should be a minimum of four participants. If there are not four, it is no longer a club activity.
• Participants should pay rideshare money to the driver and bring a change of footwear and a bag for dirty boots or poles.
