IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR ALL TRIPS
Please let the trip leader know if you are coming. In addition, trip leaders can give you important information about whether the trip is suitable for you. Be on time or before so the shuttle is not delayed.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR SPRING TRIPS
Be prepared for changing weather conditions, so dress appropriately. Always bring a change of clothing in a dry bag and rain gear. Some members carry a change of clothes in their cars. Layered clothing that dries rapidly or wet or dry suits will help protect you from the cold water. Footwear such as NRS or Chota is a good idea. Never forget your PFD and water bottle. Helmets are required on whitewater trips. Lunch, snacks, sunscreen, and mosquito repellant are personal choices. Most paddles will have a lunch break.
