Information on our hikes

General - Hikes occur year-round on every other Saturday. The general public is welcome.

Meet – The group meets before 8 am in the Douglas County Courthouse parking lot behind the Roseburg Public Library just off of Fowler Street. In general, most hikes take an hour to an hour and a half driving time each direction.

Alternate arrangements – Hikers who wish to meet the group at the hike destination or would like a ride and/or meet up at a different location enroute to the hiking destination should contact the hike coordinator in advance to coordinate these types of arrangements. The hike coordinator will determine the reasonability of each request and if it can be conveniently accommodated.

Pet Policy: We welcome well-behaved pets and expect owners to have full control over their pets at all times. As long as the area we are hiking in allows dogs, you are welcome to bring your friendly trail companion. Please be respectful of other hikers and clean up after your pet.

Bring – Each person should bring water, lunch, layers of clothing including raingear. If you wish to carpool, then please come prepared to share gas expenses. Driving time to trailheads and hike length are estimates only.

The hikes – Hikes are rated on a difficulty level of easy, moderate and difficult. The levels are determined by the length, altitude change, steepness, terrain, etc. Lengths of scheduled hikes are generally between 4 and 8 miles but can be longer. Options for shorter hikes and/or easier routes are nearly always available. Hikers of all levels are welcome to join us on hikes.

Be Prepared – Wear seasoned boots. Stay with the group and on the trail. If lost, stay put. Each hiker hikes at his or her own risk and is responsible for his or her own health, safety and welfare. Hiking destinations may be changed due to weather conditions or other concerns.

The hike coordinator will have you sign a Sign in Waiver to participate.

Hikes are submitted to the News Review for publication. A schedule is also listed on this website and is posted on the club's Facebook page.

Hike destinations are subject to change at the hike coordinator's discretion due to weather conditions, etc.
