Participation Guidelines


If you would like to go on an outing, please contact the leader of that trip. It is recommended that you do so at least a week in advance of the outings so that the trip leader can make the necessary arrangements to accommodate the number of participants. Please make sure the trip leader has a way to contact you quickly in case plans have to be changed. Trip leaders may screen participants for the skills and equipment necessary for the particular type of outing being conducted.

Backpacking trips are non-smoking and limited to 10 participants.

Membership in the Sierra Club is not required to attend, but all participants will need to sign a liability waiver in order to participate.
