Important Reminder! Inclement weather can suddenly come upon us and it's good practice to check the Comments Section in MeetUp.com of any hike that you're signed up for - - PRIOR to leaving home for the hike. Hike Leaders use the Comments Section to communicate: confirmation that the hike is still "on"; trail conditions; equipment suggestions; parking lot conditions; and other relevant information about the hike.

Please keep your replies up to date and limited to what you are able to attend.

You can remove yourself from being listed as GOING by clicking on EDIT RSVP and change it to NOT GOING.

If you are unable to attend an event and don't change your hike response, it costs other hikers the opportunity to be on the hike. Signing up for multiple hikes held at the same time produces the same result.

Thanks for your cooperation.

GVHC is switching to the Meetup announcement system to send out real-time hiking event updates, 2-month schedules, newsletters in the future. To receive real time announcements about hike updates etc, you must enable them in your meetup settings.

See the Sept 2024 newsletter for instructions and pictures of how to do this. You can find the newsletter at Newsletters .
