Trailers hikes are intended to be easy, with occasional moderate sections for short distances. Hikes will usually be between 2.5 and 4 miles long, with elevation changes of less than 400 feet. The objective is a fun recreational hike enjoyable to most hikers in reasonable condition. All hikers must be registered for the class and sign a Waiver of Liability Form before participating. Although every precaution will be taken to ensure safety, participants must recognize that hiking can be a dangerous activity. Hikers should be in reasonable physical condition and know their limitations. Hikers will get more information during the week preceding each hike. The schedule will change, so please check for the latest information.
