Important Information:

• This is an all-day commitment; due to private property restrictions, there are no in-and-out privileges.
• Participants must confirm attendance in advance to secure their spot.
• Please bring adequate water, food, sturdy footwear, and layers for changing weather conditions.
• For further consideration before registering (from Middle Mountain Hike Coordinators):

-          Our hikes are almost always on uneven terrain, even if it is relatively

            level walking. We don’t follow many paths, nor are there groomed trails.

-          All hikers must wear hiking boots or at least sturdy shoes.

            Athletic/running shoes are not always comfortable for most adults.

-          Dress in layers

-          Hats are good – chinstraps or keeper cords help on a windy ridge!

-          Hiking sticks are helpful.

-          Be prepared for rain (rain gear) or shine (sunscreen)

-          We don’t have significant tick issues in the Buttes, but there may be

            mosquitos.

-          We keep an eye out for poison oak.

-          There may be thistles at certain times of the year – long pants are

            preferable to shorts.

-          The Buttes can feel much warmer than the surrounding area – bring

            plenty of water!

-          If teenagers are coming – limit or disallow energy drinks. They can lead

            to sickness and dehydration.

-          Carry lunch and snacks for the day – lunch is on the trail.

-          Bring a daypack rather than a tote.

-          Chairs are not recommended unless they are part of a program you may   

            be doing, but a seating pad is sometimes nice on a hard or damp rock.

-          Cameras and binoculars are always welcome.
