What Each Participant Is Responsible For

These are real hiking adventures, and being prepared is important!

Each participant is responsible for:

• Personal Backpack and gear

• Carrying their own backpack and personal hiking equipment.

• Bringing the Ten Essentials, adequate drinking water, trail food, and appropriate clothing and gear for changing weather conditions.

• Purchasing their own meals and handling their own meal preparation. Kitchens will be available at overnight accommodations.

• Being physically prepared for the advertised hiking distances and terrain.

• Following trail safety guidance and taking responsibility for their own safety.

• Personal safety and preparedness.

• Signing a required participant waiver before the adventure.

• Following Leave No Trace principles.

Overnight Accommodations & Group Arrangements

Participants will meet the evening before the first hiking day at the designated overnight accommodation.

This gives everyone an opportunity to get acquainted, review the itinerary, discuss trail logistics, and prepare for the adventure ahead.

Depending on the size of the group and availability, most accommodations will involve shared rooms.

Specific lodging arrangements and room assignments will be communicated before registration is finalized.

Planning Ahead & Registration

These adventures require advance planning, so registration will open ahead of each scheduled trip.

Group sizes may be limited to maintain a manageable hiking experience and coordinate overnight accommodations.

Full details, including dates, mileage, difficulty, pricing, accommodations, and participant requirements, will be provided before registration.

A Few Things to Know

• The getaway price is based on a minimum group size. If the minimum number of participants is not met, the event may be rescheduled or canceled, with registered participants notified in advance.

• Lodging arrangements will depend on group size.

• Accommodations may include shared rooms with twin beds or, for those traveling as a pair, a room with a double, queen, or king bed.

• Bathrooms may also be shared. Room assignments will be communicated before registration is finalized.

• Participants provide their own trail lunch, snacks, water, and appropriate hiking gear. I'll coordinate Saturday evening's dinner at a local restaurant, but meals are at each participant's own expense.

Advance registration is required. Space is limited, and registration must be completed by the announced deadline.
