PRIDE ADVENTURES

RISK WARNING We’re a friendly, volunteer‑run hiking group, and our leaders are community members, not professional guides. Hiking is fun, but it comes with inherent risks such as slips, trips, falls, uneven ground, and changing weather. By joining this hike, you agree to look after your own safety, choose activities within your ability, and come prepared with good footwear, water, and anything else you need. We’re here to enjoy nature together, so please take care of yourself and others along the way.
