Guided Hikes & Bike Rides
Our registered hike leaders organize guided hikes, bike rides and other events throughout the year.
-
Participants are not required to be MTA members, although one of the perks of membership is receiving event notices directly to your inbox.
-
Each participant must complete the online waiver (once a year) before participating.
-
Participation is free, however, pre-registration with the hike leader is required as events may be cancelled or rescheduled.
-
Read the event description fully. Our hike leaders have the right to refuse unprepared hikers and suggest a more suitable outing for them.
-
For group bike rides, participants must wear a helmet and use a bike that they are comfortable with on uneven terrain and gravel. The duration of the ride is advertised in advance. Be sure you are comfortable riding the complete distance.

Contact the hike leader before the event if you have any questions. We want everyone to enjoy the day.
