It is important that participants look at the stated hike description, distance, pace, elevation gain and consider your current fitness level in determining if this hike is a good fit for you. If you have any questions, please contact the trip leader in advance. A leader may look at your profile and recent activities to ensure that they think you are ready for their hike. They may email or call you to ask you about your hiking history and conditioning activities. Some leaders may be using Leader Permission Required. you will need to request their permission to register and follow their instructions for applying. Failure to do that may result in you not being allowed to reegister for the trip.
