GMC Killington DECEMBER 2021-FEBRUARY 2022 Download PDF
Bring drinking water and a lunch. Wear sturdy footwear, dress appropriately for the weather and be prepared for weather changes. Distances are round trip and are approximate, as are elevation gains. Hike leader has discretion to refuse anyone who is not adequately prepared or not in
compliance with covid-19 guidelines. Proof of vaccination may be required and all hikes until further notice are by reservation only. If you reserve a space and are unable to go, please let the leader know ASAP so that someone else can take your place. You may be asked to provide contact information to the leader when you reserve your space.
GMC Covid-19 Guidelines
- Leaders must collect contact information for each participant prior to the hike.
- Limit group size to 10, by pre-registration
- If carpooling, masks should be worn and car windows open.
- Social distance while hiking and avoid congregating at trailheads.
- If you are sick or have any symptoms, stay home.
- Vaccination is strongly recommended, and hike leaders may require it.
*Note from the outings chair: This is the best info we have as of press time, but the situation remains fluid. Restrictions may ease or tighten as circumstances demand, so check with the hike leader if you have questions.
