COWICHAN OUTDOOR GROUP

 

An informal group of people who meet regularly for hikes walks and other outdoor activities.  Newcomers are welcome.  Most scheduled activities are on weekends but there are some weekday hikes.   Also check out our webpage at cowichansports.com

 

Hikes are rated as “L” for light hikes which are generally easier shorter hikes, “R” for regular, which are moderately strenuous or “C” for challenging which are very strenuous. All hikes are pet free unless specifically permitted by hike leader.  When “carpooling” to hike locations a donation for gas is expected.  All hikes are subject to change due to conditions so always call organizer for hike details and to confirm start time and place.
