 During the trip
Stay on the trail all the time. Do not litter. Be conscious to protect the environment
Follow leader’s pace, neither ahead nor falling too far behind. The leader should be told if you drop out, even temporarily. Courtesy to the leader and your fellow hiker.
Carpool / Transportation Arrangement
CMCNY can provide transportation to non drivers by arranging carpools for the most of one day activities. Car-poolers must contact trip leader in advance to reserve the seat.
Carpool fees (usually from $12.00 to $15.00, depends on the distance) will be paid directly to drivers. NOTE: car pool pickup location is usually the trip assembly location. On returning trip drivers will determine the drop off location that is convenient to drivers.
