Notes:

In order to register your interest for this trip, please submit a registration request using the link at the bottom of this page - this will put you on the waitlist. In addition, email a summary of your hiking experience and list trips you've done over the last 2 summers to laras@telus.net. Participants are pre-screened to ensure the group is a good fit. You will not be confirmed on the trip until the trip leader has received this email and moved you from the waitlist to the participant list.



No partial attendance. If you start with the group, you end with the group. 


*Cancellation Policy*: If a participant is unable to attend a paid course or trip, there will be no refund unless the participant finds a suitable replacement that is acceptable to the trip coordinator. Acceptable waiting list candidates will have priority. It will then be the participant's responsibility to recover funds from the replacement. If the coordinator cancels an event, participants get a refund (less any non-recoverable costs). Note that ACC National does not refund hut fees due to weather, delay, closures, or any other reasons. The Rocky Mountain Section of the ACC is a not for profit club and we only charge attendees what it costs us to provide courses or trips.
