Hiking Safety:  Nothing can replace good common sense.

​

• Always a good idea to know where you are and where you are going during a hike.  

​

• Everyone should have a trail map or GPS hiking app available.  What would you do if you, or your event organizer, had an emergency and had to separate from the group? 

​

• Hydration: You are required to bring your own snacks and enough water as you require.

​

• Footwear: Hiking footwear is always recommended. Other options may not be suitable or safe.

​

• Clothing: Be aware of local weather events as weather can be unpredictable. Light colored clothing is recommended and backup rain gear is always encouraged.

​

• Sunscreen or insect repellant for those who may require it.

​

• First Aid:  A small, basic first aid kit is always good to have in your backpack.

​

• We will hike as a group but may become separated due to various hiking paces.  The person(s) in front should ALWAYS stop and wait for the group at every trail intersection.
