Outings (trips)
Going out, I found, was really going in. - John Muir
Outings are usually suitable for the whole family; check with the leaders for details and to verify dates. No dogs [unless the specified outing will allow dogs on the trip], radios, recreational drugs, firearms, or unescorted children are allowed on Sierra Club outings. Public consumption of alcohol is prohibited during scheduled activities. Most outings are free. Fees, if any, offset trip and administrative costs.
If you have never been on an Alamo Group outing, or if it's been a while, please take a few minutes to read our complete Outings Rules.

Difficulty: moderate. Length is about 4 miles including a couple of steep sections on the Fern Dell trail, so wear sturdy hiking shoes.
