Hiking in the Buttes can be strenuous. Ridge Trek, Buttes Transect - Higher, and Summit Ascent hikes can include up to a 1000 foot elevation change, often going up steep hillsides. If you are not in good physical condition these hikes are not recommended.

Not all hikes are offered each season. The schedule is posted just prior to each hiking season.

Some hikes are acceptable for smaller children, but many are not. All of our hikes are educational experiences. We find that no hikes are appropriate for toddlers. We suggest that hikes rated 3 or 4 may be suitable for children 12 or older, but it depends on the child and the hike. Please inform the hike coordinator when making your reservations if you are considering bringing children.

No smoking and no pets are allowed on any hike.
