OUTINGS

The scheduled and tentatively planned outings of the Hundred Peaks Section are below.

OUTINGS ARE FUN
Outings are just plain fun. They give you a chance to explore and enjoy our mountains with friends who share your interests. Outings vary in difficulty and pace, which means anyone from novices to trail runners can find trips that fit their conditioning. Most hikes are for people only, but well-behaved dogs are welcome on hikes so designated.

LIABILITY
Like all organizations, the Sierra Club is sensitive to liability issues arising from our activities. Three specific matters must be addressed:

(1) In the interests of facilitating the logistics of some outings, it is customary that participants make voluntary carpooling arrangements. The Sierra Club does not have insurance for carpooling arrangements and assumes no liability for them. Carpooling, ride sharing or anything similar is strictly a private arrangement among participants. Participants assume the risks associated with this travel.

(2) All participants on Sierra Club outings are required to sign a standard liability waiver. If you would like to read the Liability Waiver before you choose to participate on an outing, please go to:
http://www.sierraclub.org/outings/chapter/forms/
or contact the Outings Department at (415) 977-5528 for a printed version.

(3) Unless otherwise stated, there is no charge or fee to participate in our outings. But a disclaimer: CST 2087766-40. Registration as a seller of travel does not constitute approval by the State of California.

CONTACTING LEADERS
For complete leadership contact information, it is necessary to obtain a copy of the Angeles Chapter Schedule of Activities or the Hundred Peaks Lookout. You can find the Schedule at many outdoors and sporting goods stores.
