Hike Beyond The Hills

www.facebook.com/groups/HikeBeyondTheHills/

This is an intermediate-advance level hiking group started by CeCe Lorthioir as a training course for a 2015 4-day hiking expedition on the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu in Peru. Our motto is "No hiker left behind." CeCe is a RN, certified in CPR, Basic Life Support and Wilderness First Aid.

This a hiking group for those who are ready and want to challenge themselves to hike steep terrain and high-elevation mountain trails. Our hiking pace is generally 2-3 miles/hour, and 1 mile/hour on very steep incline. Some of our hikes do not have a sweeper, so you will need to be able to keep up with us and find a partner when we hike in big groups. For your safety and everyone else's, please select hikes at your level of ability or below.

**ADVANCED LEVEL HIKES (3,000'+ feet elevation gain or 10+ miles): Participants will be pre-qualified before his/her name is added to the event. Hikers must share with the event host his/her recent hiking background to establish proficiency before his/her name will be added to the guest list. Advanced Group Hikes will be limited to 25 hikers, depending on the hike. Sorry, guests are NOT allowed on advanced hikes.
