Every weekend we offer hikes of varying degrees of difficulty. Hiking is free for members of The Hiking Group. There is a $2 charge for non-members. Sometimes we stop at a restaurant or at a member's home for supper after the hike. Hike ratings are as follows. Any questions concerning a particular hike can & should be addressed with the Leader for that hike. "C" hikes are the easiest with minimal elevation gains & durations.
