New hikers should call the leader before their first outing. Most outings starting in the morning are designed for a full day with return to the meeting place prior to dinnertime. Non-local outings may involve stopping for dinner.
Hazardous weather or insufficient snow on snowshoe and/or cross-country ski trips may require a change of destination and/or be converted into a regular ‘boot’ hike.
Leaders and participants are expected to: (1) show respect, cooperation and courtesy to others in the group, and show tolerance toward other people’s views; (2) welcome others in a friendly, helpful manner, avoiding conflict and abusive language or behavior, and promote safe and enjoyable events; and (3) reflect ADK’s mission at all times.
Transportation:
The leader will arrange carpooling. Passengers are expected to contribute toward the cost of the transportation.
Risk:
There are risks involved in our outings; anyone participating does so at their own risk, and is required to sign the Release of Liability Form provided by the leader.
Overnight Outings:
Overnight outings are open only to ADK members
Dogs:
Please contact the leader in advance if you would like to bring a dog. It is up to the leader to decide if a dog is allowed to join the hike.
