The BMTA is Looking for Hike Leaders for 2011!


We would like to increase the number of hikes to two Saturdays a month and will be doing more hikes in
NC and TN. 50% of the hikes are on the BMT.
We need 4 more hike leaders!
Please look over the attached hikes and see if there are any you would be interested in leading next year.
Certainly feel free to pick up more than one if you are interested in doing so.

Also if you would like to substitute another similar hike, feel free to do so .

I took into consideration weather for wet stream crossings (SC) and length of hikes (winter = short days).
E=easy
A=average
M= moderate
D= difficult
S=strenuous

If you know an area is in Wilderness, please mark it as such. If you would like to limit the # of hikers,
please note that, too. We are trying to offer more hikes next year so limited hikes are OK.

Thank you so much. You are the ones making this a successful program!!
