How hard are our field trips?
The degree of difficulty of the hike is rated using the above Hike Ratings. Difficulty is determined by both distance and elevation gain. All of our hike ratings assume a good level of physical fitness. Please note that these guidelines may not fully describe a hike’s difficulty. For example, steep or rough terrain may make a short hike strenuous. Read the hike description carefully. Call the hike leader or The Land Trust if you have any questions. We want to be sure that the hikes you join match your expectations and needs.
