Pacer Hike Series

DESTINATION HIKE WAIVER <-------- MUST READ AND AGREE TO TERMS BEFORE ATTENDING ANY DESTINATION HIKE EVENT.

*Disclaimer as stated in the Destination Hike Waiver*

Hiking is a recreational activity that has an inherent risk of danger.  While hiking I may be exposed to dangers and hazards, not limited to: heat, stroke, dehydration, bee stings, tick bites, snake bites, loss of balance, inclement weather, falling rocks, fatigue, wildlife, negligence of others, drowning, and/or death. Please review full waiver prior to registering for any Destination Hike event.

*This is NOT one of the mandatory Pacer Hikes for those planning to register for the 100 Mile Wilderness Trip or the Destination Hike Does Las Vegas Trip*

This is going to be such a fun hike with high energy! This is NOT a race. I repeat, this is NOT a race. This is really just to get you comfortable with knowing your hiking pace on a moderate trail with moderate length. You are not expected to hike any faster or slower than you normally do. HIKE YOUR NORMAL PACE.

You will be required to have your own trial app downloaded on your phone as we will not have hiking guides specifically directing you through the trail. Alltrails is suggested since that is the trail guide we will be following. However, if you have a paper trail map, or some other app that takes you on the trail, you can follow that.

Pace naturally separates people on the trail. Do not feel discouraged if you notice people are far ahead of you. This hike is personal to YOU. You are getting a better understanding of how you pace yourself. There will be no designated breaks on this trail. If you need to take a break, you can take it on your own. Think of this as a solo group hike. You are hiking your own pace, but within a group. It is also helpful to see other people who hike at your same pace, or to see those who hike faster than you so you can have your own personal hiking gauge.

Please arrive at least 15 minutes prior to the start of the hike! If you do not start on time with the group your time cannot be counted to give you an idea of your pace. Hikes will be at different locations with different terrain to see how you do on different types of trails to include: incline, rocky paths, hills, trails with multiple pathways, etc. 

Exact location will be provided to those who register.

How to prepare?

1. Wear comfortable shoes. If you have hiking boots that would be prefered. However, if you have not committed to buying hiking shoes, wear comfortable tennis shoes.

2. Check the weather for the day and dress appropriately. This hike will not be canceled because the weather is "cold." 

3. Bring a small to medium size back pack. This is to carry any personal items; cell phone, water, personal medication, and any other items you may need.

4. Always bring a at least 1L of water. Make sure you have hydrated the day before, and the day of the hike.

5. Remember, there are no bathrooms in nature, so stay hydrated but make sure you are good to hike without needing a bathroom. If you do need to use the bathroom, nature will be your stall.

6. Suggested: Download the AllTrails app. That will help you get familiar with the trail and you can see in real time where we are on the trail.
