2020 Summer
Activity Schedule
We have resumed scheduled
hikes for the summer of 2020 with COVID-19
precautions:
- Participants will provide their own
transportation to avoid the need
for carpooling. To accommodate additional
vehicles, leaders have
chosen locations
that have larger trailhead parking
capacity. Hikes
have been scheduled for days when fewer other hikers
are expected, and no hikes will
require a car shuttle.
- Hikers will maintain
social distance and other current protocols.
- The trip leader may offer a nearby
alternative hike if group size is too large.
Summer hikes usually are scheduled from
May to October. Participants meet at the southwest
corner of the Smith's
Marketplace parking lot at 750 North Main Street in
Logan, Utah. Participants should bring
food, water, appropriate clothing, and a donation for gas
and parking fees, where applicable.
It is the participant’s responsibility to
be sure the trip is within his/her ability and stamina,
and to have adequate equipment. In most cases the
hiker should be prepared with sturdy boots, hat, first aid
kit, rain protection, insect repellent, extra clothing,
food, water, and optional hiking poles. Contact the trip
leader for more information.
Contact the trip leader for more information.
The Cache
Trails book is a good source of information for many of
the activities.. Other resources include the Cache
Valley
Visitors Bureau and
the Logan
Ranger
District. Of special interest are the well-done Logan Canyon
Hiking Trails website,
by
Sarah Ohms, the Trails
Illustrated map, and the new Cache
County Trails
Cache website.
