Suzanne Stensaas: [email protected] Bill Gray: [email protected]

All hikes begin on Friday mornings, except during the extended trip to Capitol Reef. Details of time and meeting place will be sent by the trip leaders about a week ahead of time. Because they are sent to a list of many addresses they might end up in your ‘junk/spam’ folder: check there if you seem to be missing out. If a trip has to be canceled we reschedule for the following week if possible. It is always a courtesy to let the trip leader know if you plan to be on a hike – and they can inform you of any last minute changes.
