Outings Trip Schedule
Our Tehipite Chapter Outings Co-Chairs are Dave Wallace (559) 434-2158, email: wagga@comcast.net; and Steve Cosner (559) 281-5983, email: stevec@sfsu.edu. Please contact them with any questions concerning our outings program. Contact the trip leader directly if you are interested in one of the listed trips.
Tehipite Chapter outings are free and open to the public. All leaders are unpaid volunteers assuming responsibility for a good trip, and your cooperation is mandatory. For your safety, participation on a trip is at the sole discretion of the outings leader. Please call the leader well in advance for details, reservations, or if you plan to cancel. Outings officially start at the trailhead. Travel responsibility rests on each participant. Carpooling is encouraged, but leaders can not be responsible for the organization of carpools. The Sierra Club does not provide insurance for transportation. Drivers are normally reimbursed eight cents per mile by passengers. No guns, pets, or radios are permitted on trips.
Additional outings polices along with information on becoming a trip leader are available on the Outings Policies page.
