Both club members and nonmembers are welcome on hikes. Typically, Monday hikes are shorter and easier than Wednesday hikes, but please check the schedule carefully. If you are a novice hiker, please start slow and work your way up to longer and harder hikes. We do not require a reservation, but please check with the hike leader for any last-minute changes. Then show up at the meeting place and we will be happy to have you hike with us!
On most hikes, we meet at Covenant Presbyterian Church in Johnson City each Monday and Wednesday and leave at 8:00 A.M. Please check the schedule for specific times and additional and/or alternate meeting locations. SEE YA ON THE TRAIL! |
