Trail Trips Hike Leader

This is an ongoing volunteer opportunity

Trail Trips Committee is recruiting new Hike Leaders! Our hike leaders keep the Trail Trips program full, offering over 900 hikes, rambles and trail trips each year.

By volunteering to lead hikes, rambles, snowshoes, backpacks, car camps and trail tends, you are making a valuable contribution to the Mazamas. Often, Hike Leaders are the first and sometimes the only face of the Mazamas to the public and to potential new members.

Leading Trail Trips activities is a way to choose your own destinations and dates. Added bonuses are getting to participate in Trail Trips activities without paying fees, receiving a "Hike Free" card from Trail Trips committee for each activity you lead, and qualifying for a number of Trail Trips recognition awards once certain milestones are reached.

In order to become a Trail Trips leader you must be enthusiastic about hiking, read the Trail Trips Leader Manual, have been certified in basic First Aid, and lead a provisional hike under a Mazamas Hike Leader.
