| With all of the hikes in the Summit Series (and some in the lead-up series of hikes), the hikes may take all day with no predictable return time.
The drives may be longer so riders need to help pay for the costs of the group hike. High-clearance vehicles with good tires are needed and some of the access routes are harder on vehicles. Many of the hikes are more difficult and we will be in the backcountry for the day so we need hikers that are self-sufficient, adequately fit, and well-prepared. These are small group hikes and a team effort makes them successful. Contact the hike leader if you are uncertain about the listed event. |
