HIKING TRAIL ETIQUETTE

  1. Uphill hikers have right of way (unless catching their breath).
  2. For safety reasons, hikers should step aside for bikers, runners and horses.
  3. Shortcuts cause trail erosion; stay on main trail.
  4. Leave no trace (wrappers and tissue on the trail a big NO!).
  5. As a courtesy to hikers coming up from behind, step aside
  6. Take dogs only on trails marked for them. Restrain them when passing other hikers. Clean up after them!

HIKE DIFFICULTY DEFINITIONS

  • EASY: Up to 500ft elevation and up to 6 miles
  • MODERATE: Between 500 and 1800 ft elevation and 6 to 10 miles
  • STRENUOUS: Over 1800ft elevation and 8 to 15 miles or longer
  • These are basic definitions. Things like rock scrambles and trail conditions might affect hike difficulty (details here: https://cvhikingclub.net/hike-ratings/ )

HIKE GROUP SAFETY

To keep everyone safe, hikers must sign up for hikes. Hikers will be asked to:

  • Describe their recent hike activity
  • Mention any medical conditions that might be problematic
  • Cancel with the hike leader if they won't be attending

Once on the trail, hikers will be expected to:

  • Follow the hike leader's and sweep's instructions
  • Apprise the leader if they are having difficulty
  • Accept an escort to return to the trailhead if they can't keep up with the group
