Welcome

Welcome to the Sierra Club Seniors!

Don't be put off by the word “SENIOR” in our title. We have many younger adults joining us on our outings. Click on the buttons to the left for our scheduled activities. Most of our activities are on week-days, when trails are much less used, and so much more attractive. We go on “hikes”, not walks, which are usually between 4-8 miles. We do go into the upper elevations at times, but try to limit our climb to 1,000 feet, and travel at a more leisurely pace than other Sierra Club outings. Do join us, and smell the flowers or join in our other activities such as potlucks or plays. Singles and couples welcome. It is not necessary to be a member of the Sierra Club to join an outing, but you may decide it is well worth your while after meeting with us.

There is a full schedule of events offered; however, some require a reservation, some require you to call leaders in advance for a meeting time and place or, there may be an unusual request that you bring something.

Hikes are classified in terms of difficulty by a letter and a numeral:

Grade 1 - up to six miles Class A - less than 1000 feet elevation gain

Grade 2 - six to ten miles Class B - 1000 to 2000 feet elevation gain

The Senior Group does not generally schedule hikes beyond those classified as 2B, and most of them are 1A. Such more challenging hikes are listed in the Bonanza and Singles Schedule. Extended trips are in the Sierra Magazine. Both Bonanza and Sierra Magazine are sent to you if you are a member of the Sierra Club.
