Outing Reservations
Reservation fees of from $5-$15 are refunded only when you show up and if they aren’t needed to offset costs. Cancellation policy on more expensive trips is as follows: Cancellation within 30 days, no refund without replacement. If your spot is filled, 90% will be refunded. This policy is in effect unless the leader states otherwise in writing. Always send contact and drive/carpool information. Make checks payable to “GLS”.
Dogs
For most people, the presence of a well-behaved dog can be entertaining, or at worst a mild annoyance. However, this is not true for everyone. Some people suffer from various levels of fear of dogs. Because of this, and the potential intrusion on wildlife, the Sierra Club policy is that dogs are not allowed on Club outings unless the write-up states DOGS OK. Make sure you bring adequate food, water, a bowl, and a long leash.
Seller of Travel Notice
CST 2087766-40. Registration as a seller of travel does not constitute approval by the State of California.
Adventure Pass
National Forests in Southern California (Los Padres, San Gabriel, San Bernardino, and Cleveland) require parked cars to display an Adventure Pass. The pass is available from ranger stations, sporting goods stores, and other local merchants and costs $5 per day or $30 per year. Plan on getting it before your outing, as most outlets do not open early. Many Sierra Club members dispute this user fee and protest it by not buying a pass, possibly incurring a ticket. The choice is yours.
Carpooling
To facilitate the travel logistics for outings, participants often make carpooling arrangements. The Sierra Club does not have insurance for carpooling arrangements and assumes no liability for them. Carpooling, ride -sharing, or anything similar is strictly a private arrangement among participants. Participants assume the risks associated with this travel.
