All outings begin and end at the trailhead. Carpooling to and from the trailhead
is strictly a private arrangement between the driver and his/her guests. Carpool
drivers are not agents or employees of the Sierra Club; the driver alone, not
the Sierra Club, is responsible for the safety of guests while carpooling.
The following explanations are general guidelines. The outings described vary
in difficulty from leisurely walks to strenuous hikes. (For more information about
the difficulty of a particular hike, call the leader)
