What’s the difference between car pooling and ride sharing?
Ride sharing is the term we use, although it's similar to what most of us think of as
car pooling. There's a number of spots in the greater LA area that are designated as ride
share points by the Angeles Chapter. The one we use most is in La Canada (see above). Others can be found in the
Angeles Chapter's Schedule of Activities. Hike participants are encouraged to share
rides while travelling to/from the trail head. It’s fun and saves gas. BTW, it's customary to offer the driver $5
or so to cover gas costs. Due to insurance regulations
the leaders do not assign people to rideshare. But they do suggest that you make your own rideshare arrangements. |
What are "Lugs"?
Lugs refer to lug-soled hiking boots. Look at the underside of a pair of hiking boots. The tread may be
raised up, like knobby tires on an off-road pickup truck. The purpose is the same - more traction
while traversing a natural surface.

What is a Split Break?
Bathroom Break. When nature calls while hikeing with the Sierra Club, notify one of the leaders so that
she is aware of your whereabouts. On the trail, it's important to notify one of the leaders.
