Hiking Etiquette & Guidelines

Our hikes are meant to be enjoyable, inclusive, and safe for everyone. Whether you're new to hiking or an experienced trailblaser, please follow these simple guidelines to help keep the experience positive for all:

​

General Expectations

• Be Respectful: Treat fellow hikers, nature, and wildlife with care and consideration.

• Leave No Trace: Carry out everything you bring in. Help keep the trails clean.

• Stay on the Path: Avoid straying off marked trails to protect nature and prevent erosion.

​​

Pace & Group Dynamics

• Our hikes are easy-paced and sociable, designed to be beginner-friendly and welcoming to all fitness levels.

• If you're a faster hiker, please be aware of the group’s pace. Feel free to walk ahead, but don’t leave others behind without communicating.

• If you need to slow down or take a break, that’s absolutely okay! Just let someone know, and we’ll support you.

• Be Mindful of Others: Pay attention to the people around you and adjust your pace as needed to help everyone enjoy the experience.

​

Communication

• Let the group leader know if you're leaving early or taking a different route.

• Keep your phone handy in case you need to reach someone in the group, but try to minimize distractions to stay present.
