Fall 2026 Hiking Series

Sundays 9:00 AM
Wednesdays 6:00 PM

Before your first hike:

โœ๏ธ Arrive a few minutes early. We have sign-in sheets at every trailhead so we can track your completed hikes and start on time.

๐Ÿ“œ Everyone needs a signed waiver. Grab one at the trailhead, or download it ahead of time.

๐Ÿฅพ No sign-up, no fee. Just show up.
