During Covid-19, every scheduled CMC hike has a limit of ten hikers. To get a space on a hike, click on the hiking icon which appears on the first page that comes up after you login.Then click on Current Schedules. Click on the day of the week you wish to hike to get the schedule for the current quarter. Then scroll down to view the available hikes. When you find the ones you want, you must contact the leader via email to let them you want to be included on their hike. The leader will respond to let you know if you are on the “go list” or the “waiting list”. If you are put on the “waiting list”, the leader will contact you if one of the hikers drops out and leaves a space. Happy Hiking.
