Hikers new to the group must 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
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
Thus a typical Saturday 4D outing encompasses 15-20 miles of distance
and 3000-4000' of elevation gain.
