Clark County Newcomers Club - Monday Hikes for 2026<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Below is the list of hikes for the Monday Hikers for the 2026 season. This list could change due to unforeseen circumstances. The CCNC website (clarkcountynewcomers.com) will have the most up to date information.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Monday hikes are considered easy or moderate by hiking manual standards, usually less than 6 miles, with less than a 1,000 ft. elevation gain. However, the CCNC Monday Hike ratings are not necessarily the same as found in trail books. Please note the distance and elevation gain for each hike.<\/span><\/strong> \u00a0A good test for elevation-gain endurance is if you can climb up and down a staircase multiple times consecutively and breathing is not overly stressed. You should also be able to maintain a 20-minute mile pace on level ground.<\/h3>\n

Hikes are planned on Mondays from April to mid-October. For <\/span><\/strong>general information regarding Monday hiking, to be added to or deleted from the Monday hiking roster, or to change your contact information<\/strong><\/span> contact Cathy Darragh<\/span><\/a><\/strong>.<\/h3>\n

For each individual hike, there is a designated hike leader. ALL HIKERS ARE REQUIRED TO NOTIFY THE HIKE LEADER IF THEY ARE PLANNING TO HIKE by <\/strong>3PM Sunday<\/strong><\/span>. \u00a0Call or email the hike leader sometime during the week before the hike, not sooner than that. \u00a0Leave your cell phone number and state where you will be meeting the group if there is a choice. \u00a0If you plan to bring any guests, you must give the Hike Leader their names.<\/span><\/strong> All guests must sign a disclaimer form.<\/strong> <\/span>\u00a0You will receive a reply from the leader acknowledging your email or call.\u00a0 (If you text, you must sign your name to the text.)\u00a0 For safety reasons, there must be a minimum of 4 hikers signed up (including the Hike Leader) for a hike to take place.\u00a0 If weather or other unforeseen circumstances cause a hike to be cancelled, the hike leader will send out an e-mail Sunday evening (the night before the hike). \u00a0If you need to cancel<\/u>, contact the hike leader so the group is not waiting for you Monday morning.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Carpooling <\/strong>from a local meeting point to a trailhead is an option for most hikes and driving yourself to the trailhead is always an option.\u00a0 We will either stop in route to use bathroom facilities or use them at the trailhead.<\/h3>\n

\u00a0It is required that the passengers contribute to the driver at a rate of $.35\/mile\/vehicle as fuel reimbursement.\u00a0 The total amount is split by all in the car, including the driver. Also, the cost of any necessary day pass to park for a hike must be shared by all in the car (i.e., Silver Falls & Beacon Rock & Vancouver Lake, Battle Ground Lake SP)<\/strong>. Bring small bills for payment.<\/h3>\n

In the spirit of sharing cost, in the unlikely event of vandalism at the trailhead to one of our cars, everyone who hiked that day will share in the cost of the out-of-pocket expense incurred. To reduce risk of vandalism, please don\u2019t bring extra items to leave in the vehicle at the trailhead except for an extra pair of shoes to wear after hiking.\u00a0 Drivers will instruct you where and how to leave your shoes in the vehicle.<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Dogs are not permitted on Monday hikes.<\/h3>\n

All hikers must come equipped to do the hike safely and comfortably, which means:<\/strong><\/h3>\n
