Sierra Club Loma Prieta Day Hiking Section Schedule

2005 November



  • All hikes by the Day Hiking Section are open to the general public and Sierra Club membership is not required. DHS activities begin and end at the trailhead. While a carpool location is suggested in the schedule, participants must make their own carpool arrangements.
  • All participants on DHS outings are required to sign a liability waiver/sign-in sheet
  • Hikers new to the group are required to call the hike leader in advance.

    The hike rating system is as follows:

    1 = Less than 5 miles of total distance
    2 = 5 to 10 miles
    3 = 10 to 15 miles
    4 = 15 to 20 miles
    5 = 20 to 25 miles
    (etc)

    A = Less than 1000 feet of total elevation gain
    B = 1000 to 2000 feet
    C = 2000 to 3000 feet
    D = 3000 to 4000 feet
    E = 4000 to 5000 feet
    (etc)

    For example, a 4C hike would be up to 20 miles and up to 3000' gain.
