HIKE RULES

• Participants must sign their own names on the Trip Leader's report form and pay carpool fee. Guests are welcome.
• All participants must abide by the hike rules. The hike leader is in charge of the hike and will make all decisions as to the route, rest stops, duration, etc.
• The Co-Leader or sweep is responsible for bringing up the rear and insuring that hikers do not get too spread out or separate.
• Do not leave the hike without the permission of the Leader. No fewer than two hikers should go together. All people must be accounted for at the end of the hike.
• Wear appropriate shoes or boots. For your comfort and safety be prepared for sunshine, rain or cold. No pets or radios. No smoking. Once a hike is started, it will usually continue in spite of the weather. Be prepared. Bring lunch and water. Some hikes are on private land; respect the owner's rights. Motto: "Take nothing but pictures and leave nothing but footprints."
• Children under sixteen are welcome, but must be accompanied by a parent or other responsible adult.
• Enjoy the hike and the other participants. If you have any questions or problems, consult the hike leader.
• Leaders shall abide by the Leader's Guidelines published in the Genesee Valley Hiking Club bylaws.
