Ascending Hikes – Deer Creek Canyon Park
This Ascending Hike is designed for those a bit worried about their hiking ability. The hike is at a lower elevation so we can concentrate on our pace. At the end of the hike we can make some recommendations about what hikes each member might be ready to tackle.

Alert! This is a popular program. If there is a standby list, join it. Standby lists almost always clear. Your Trip Leader and AHS Coordinators put a lot of effort into planning section activities. Last minute cancellations and no-shows are very discouraging and insufficient numbers may jeopardize the program. We realize that “things happen,” however PLEASE DO NOT SIGN UP FOR AN AHS TRIP UNLESS YOU FULLY INTEND TO PARTICIPATE ON TRIP DAY.
