BRIEF COURSE DESCRIPTION: This is a day hiking course focused on trips offered in the Issaquah Alps and along I-90 corridor during the Winter months to help the participants become more comfortable hiking in the winter (FYI - there may be a few hikes outside of this area but almost all are within this area). This is not a progressive hiking course; you must be able to do fairly challenging hikes even as early as January 2025. All hikes will be genenerally at least 6 miles with 1200ft elevation but many hikes are much more including hikes 10 miles or more with much more elevation. ***Everyone will need MICROSPIKES as part of manitory equipment to carry in their backpack for all hikes.***
COURSE GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS: Attend the required online Zoom classroom session at 7pm on Thursday 1/2/2025 and participate in two hikes per month between January and March 2025.
***MAKE SURE YOU REGISTER FOR THE ZOOM CLASSROOM RIGHT AFTER YOU REGISTER FOR THE COURSE (It is within the Course Requirements section!)***
SCHOLARSHIPS. The Mountaineers is dedicated to making the outdoors accessible to everyone. We offer gear loans and scholarships to reduce financial barriers. If money is keeping you from getting outside, please apply for a scholarship. If you'd like to help make the outdoors more inclusive, consider making a tax-deductible donation.
