May is the first month we schedule hikes for the season. Come out and hike. Details on all scheduled hikes may be found under the “calendar” tab. There is also a detailed description of the hike, including a general description, meeting place, meeting time, difficulty, pace, distance, elevation gain and approximate hiking time. Be sure you are familiar with the hike description and that you are able to keep up with the group.
