-------------------------- Club Getaways ------------------------------
Multi-day
getaways offer an opportunity to hike on beautiful trails in locations
beyond
the range of a day trip. Offered once or twice a year, these highly
popular trips fill up
quickly. A getaway trip leader chooses the location and coordinates the
event, often with
the help of a committee
.
Who Can Attend
Only members of the Lincoln Hills Hikers and Walkers Group and their
partners may
participate (exceptions at the trip leader’s approval) with up to 30
participants based on
accommodations and hike leader availability. Signup priority will be
given to active hike
leaders and other club volunteers before opening to all members on a
first-come, first-
served basis.
Accommodations and Meals
Venues often require deposits well in advance and to be fully prepaid –
sometimes
nonrefundable. The getaway can be all-inclusive or involve dining out
in local eateries
.Hikes
Depending on the number of hike leaders, options of moderate or
strenuous trails will
be offered. An easier hike is usually included. Non-hiking partners are
encouraged to
help where needed. For example, they could assist with non-hiking
activities or act as a
driver.
Hiker Fitness
- Safety
of the individual hiker and group is
paramount with
participants expected
to be in good hiking shape and able to keep up on trails rated as moderate to strenuous. - To prepare for hiking multiple days, participants should regularly attend hikes rated as moderate to strenuous.
- Participants are also advised to maintain regular fitness activities and to consider joining the fast-paced walks on Wednesdays.
