Predicted temperatures above 93* in hike area
Predicted temperatures below 22* in hike area
Snow and Ice making travel difficult/unsafe
In the event an event needs to be rescheduled, participants will be notified by email by 7am of event day. Participants will be able to attend the event on the rescheduled date, or if participants are unable to attend on the new date, they will be issued a credit to use for a future event.
Refunds. It is our hope that you set aside this time for yourself and hold to your commitments to yourself; in an effort to help maintain that boundary, we do not offer refunds.
