This class is designed for more advanced hikers and may involve challenging terrain. To join, you should have a moderate fitness level and prior hiking experience at these distances. Hike locations will alternate between Chewacla State Park and other regional sites. The Chewacla hikes will begin at 8:30 AM, and for the out-of-town hikes, participants will ride in the Outreach van or carpool and depart Sunny Slope at 8:30 AM.

Chewacla hikes will be up to 10 miles with the option to leave at noon after 4–5 miles. Out-of-town hikes are typically 5–10 miles and may include moderate to significant elevation gain. At the start of the term, participants will pay $15. Each time you ride in the van or with a volunteer driver, your account will be debited $5.

Required: Demonstration of your hiking proficiency before the first class. Two hiking poles.  A small day pack is suggested.
