Public Schedule: February to April 2012

We organize events at various levels every weekend year round.

Events are for members only. However, anyone is welcome to try out a hike or bike ride by arranging in advance to attend as a guest. The process is easy: see the Help page for NSH Club Help.

Please do not attend an event as a guest without prearranging. A non-member who arrives for an event without prearrangement, proper equipment and $5 for insurnace will be turned away. No exceptions.
