Hike Leader Waiver Forms: File: HikeRelease-P1.pdf   File: HikeRelease-P2.pdf

HIKE LEADERS are the backbone of the club. Without hike leaders we can’t hike as a club.  The process is pretty simple and some of the experienced hikers are available to help.

Select a hike you feel comfortable leading.

Contact the appropriate Hike Coordinator to volunteer to lead a hike. Let the hike coordinator know before the next meeting if possible or come to the meeting.

Print the Hike Leader Waiver Forms (links above).

During the days before the hike take phone calls from those coming (take their names and phone numbers so you can notify them in case of hike changes)

Make arrangements for a meeting place and time.

Arrange for spotting cars if necessary.

Have everyone sign the release form at the beginning of the hike.

As you lead the hike make sure to account for all the hikers. Use another hiker as a rear sweep to make sure that nobody is left behind if you think it’s necessary.
