Home  Schedule  Members Trails Photos Links


 

The Prescott Hiking Club is located in Prescott, Arizona. Hikes are offered for all ability levels several days per week; we also have monthly camping trips, and periodic picnics and parties. Members live in Prescott, Prescott Valley, Chino Valley, and other Central Yavapai County areas. Dues are $5 per household, annually. Membership is open to anyone interested.

The Club is informally structured; the only officer is the club treasurer. Club rules are:

1) Never leave a hiker behind.
2) Leaders wait for others at trail junctions.
3) Members should hike with the group appropriate for their speed.

Additionally, remember that the hike leader is the leader, and decides on the progress of the hike. With safety in mind, hikers should not scatter or go off on their own.

 

And, we should make sure that we are custodians of the forests; we pick up trash, but leave everything else for future hikers.

 
To join the club, please print this form or simply join us for a trial hike first.
