GET FIT.
THURSDAYS at 6 pm.
THURSDAY evening hikes at 6 pm are up Knox EXCEPT for those Thursdays listed below. If you are new to the club we strongly recommend you hike a Thursday night with the group. If you can't comfortably hike up these Thursday night jaunts you are not ready to go on longer weekend hikes. If you want to bring a dog you must check with the hike leader to see if dogs are allowed on the hike in question.
Hike leaders have the right to refuse participation by any one on a hike. If someone comes who is not prepared for a hike (in the case of proper equipment or fitness) then it can ruin the day for others. If you are in doubt call and ask. This is another good reason to come up Knox if you are new - so that hike leaders get an idea of your capability and you have an idea of what a run-of-the-mill hike is like.
Planning Meetings: All planning meetings will take place at Choices Market, in the upstairs meeting room. If you have not attended a planning meeting before when you arrive at Choices you will need somebody to show you through the labyrinth.
The next planning meeting is set for:
Wednesday August 4 at 6:30 pm.

Gratuity is the suggested amount to give to the driver when carpooling.
Most hikes start at the Orchard Mall parking lot in the corner closest to Cooper & Springfield. The closest store is the Sportchek. Please check your e-mail regularly for updates/changes. If you live along the way (eg. we are hiking in Penticton and you live in Peachland) please phone the hike coordinator and they will arrange to meet you enroute.
For Information on the trail descriptions, please go to the “Trail Ratings” link on this Website. X-country trips are defined differently as simply beginner (read easier), intermediate, or difficult.
