Hike’rizons Member Guidelines

Attending events

Please sign the liability waiver to attend events. You will only need to do so once.
Make sure to read the entire description of event so you will know what is required and that you are prepared for the event.
Don’t hesitate to contact the leader in advance if you have questions or concerns about an event.
Be mindful of your abilities as many of the events are physically demanding.
Follow the Event Chat and comments for the Meetup event. This is especially important for event changes.
Check weather forecast and dress accordingly.
If there is a charge for the event, please pay in a timely manor so leader does not have to spend time following up with you for payment.
Don’t forget parking passes.
Have a spirit of adventure and enjoy the moment. We are a social group and like to make meaningful connections with others.
Be considerate of others. Drama is better suited elsewhere
The leaders spend considerable time and effort planning trips. Please be appreciative and respectful of them.

Be considerate with rsvp and remove yourself as soon as possible if you can not attend so that someone else may attend. It is disappointing for those on a waitlist who can not attend when cancellations are last minute.
Be on time ready to go at the posted start time so others do not have to wait for you.
Give yourself extra time to get to event if you have not been to the location before or weather conditions warrant extra time.
If you carpool, please be considerate to compensate the driver.

Make sure to have what items you need and that they are in proper working order.
Let your family or friends know where you are and how long you will be gone.
Share relevant medical information with the leader for emergency.
Dress in layers and be prepared for all weather conditions. Cotton clothing is not suitable.
Bring enough water, electrolytes, food etc.
Bring first aid kit and 10 essentials.
Have a map of event route.
Speak up if you are experiencing difficulty.
