Due to Covid-19 we are currently limiting our membership to our local community. This group is only open to residents of Gilsum and the surrounding towns at this time.

Gilsum Treks is run by a small group of volunteers who enjoy spending time outdoors exploring their local region. Our walks and hikes will primarily be in Gilsum and the surrounding towns, but may venture out into the greater Monadnock region. Our monthly excursions will be led by a volunteer trip leader familiar with the hike. We are always open to new places to explore. We will be following all current Covid safety guidelines.

Event organizers will provide as much information as possible about the difficulty of each trip, with most trips being of easy or moderate difficulty to accommodate most hikers. Our hikes will be paced to keep everyone in the group more or less together the entire time. Please always review the event description carefully. You are responsible for determining whether you are physically able and have the time to attend an event. Take responsibility for your own safety and experience.

Hikes may occasionally have to be cancelled or rescheduled due to inclement weather. We will strive to make this decision at least 24 hours in advance, but it is up to you to decide if you feel safe hiking in the current conditions.

Please use a photo of yourself as your profile picture for safety and so event hosts can recognize you when you arrive. Profiles without a face may send a private message to request an exception.

You do not need to RSVP "No" to an event unless you are changing your RSVP from a "Yes" to a "No."

Legal Disclaimer:
While trip leaders attempt to plan events that will work for everyone and will try to anticipate and head off problems, you should not participate in hiking events if you would not be able to safely complete the described hike on your own. Learning about the terrain, conditions, local weather and your equipment before you start is your responsibility. Any attempts to increase the comfort and safety of events should not lead you to believe that event hosts are taking responsibility for your safety. By signing up for events, you are indicating that you are an adult who has the skills and ability to safely complete the described hike. Do not RSVP yes if this is not the case, as we will be relying on your judgment of your skills and ability. To read more about hiking safety, check out hikeSafe.com.
