Trail distances are not always exact, and the difficulty rating is subjective. We care about your safety so please know your limitations; bring extra water, snacks, and anything else you need for your safety and comfort. TRACKS waivers are signed prior to each hike. For information about the trails, including downloadable maps, go to our website and click on Take a Hike. Depending on the hiking group, dogs are allowed if they remain on a 6-foot or shorter leash. Hikers with dogs will be asked to walk at the back of the group to minimize tripping and other hazards. We try to carpool/rideshare to save gas and the planet, but you are welcome to drive your own vehicle to trailheads. All hikes are subject to change/cancellation based on weather or circumstances beyond our control.
