We will have our first hiking class of the year on Monday, September 18th. We will always meet at our building at 2120 Bailey Hill Rd 97405, in the Green Room before each hike. It is very important to arrive on time to this class since we go over some important information before we hit the road.

Here it what it says:
Connections Hiking Welcome to my favorite way to spend Spring term!
Since we will spend most of our time in the community and various urban hiking trails we respectfully request that all students represent Connections in a positive way. Specifically by:
- Wearing appropriate clothing (shoes, jacket etc.) for an outdoor hike. We will be hiking rain or shine – you will get muddy.
- Respecting nature, trails and “leave no trace behind.”
- Drink water…more water…and more water.
- Respecting others. Any student who behaves in a negligent manner may not be invited to hike again.
- Stretching before hiking to prevent injuries.
- Bring all medications you will need (inhaler, etc.)
- Having fun!
If you feel you cannot be a positive hiker, please let me know and I will help you find an alternative activity.
Sign below if you agree to follow the above requests.
