If there is someone on the Wait List who is able to fill your place then you will not be charged for your seat. If there is no one able to fill your seat then you will be responsible for the Bus Fare.

HIKE NOTES/ADVISORIES
*** Alltrails maps are to be used for route finding purposes only. The elevation gains on the maps are very often much more than those found in more reliable sources. The gains posted on club descriptions should be a better indication of the real gain. ***
- Pigeon Mtn: AFATP
- Pigeon Mtn to the first viewpoint
- Wind Ridge Upper Meadow: AFATP. If you’re feeling ambitious and want an adventure try the short rock scramble before the top of the ridge!
- Wind Ridge Lower Meadow: For those who are feeling adventurous, try the alternate route via Three Sisters parkway. It looks a bit more gentle and may even be a bit shorter. Windy Ridge Viewpoint is a a good add-on too.
- West Wind Creek Valley: AFATP
