We’re changing how club fees work! To ensure gas costs are consistent and drivers are fully reimbursed, hikers will now pre-pay $6 for gas.

The gas fee can be paid by Venmo (or cash if needed) and funds will be handled by hiking club and its officers. The hike sign-up to will reflect this change with a question “how do you plan to gay for gas? Venmo/Zelle/cash”. Accepted hikers must pay the gas fee or they risk forfeiting their spot.

This change will begin with hikes hosted next weekend (Nov 15-16). Please comment, dm, or message in the discord with questions!

The one-time club registration fee ($10) will not have any changes. This fee is due by the time of your first hike and helps cover club expenses like trailhead passes and social events.

When you go on a hike and the trip leads are wearing the same outfit… and then trade rain pants…

Anyways it was so fun hiking with you all this weekend and making the best of the rain and beautiful autumn leaves!
