Trip Guidelines

The following applies to most trips

• The trips will be announced at the meetings.

• First come first served for limited registration trips.

• For questions regarding registration, logistics or other general inquiries please contact the organizing member(s) directly instead of posting those questions to the listserv; you can find email address for officers here.

• Coordinate with other members to carpool, ask for help to the organizing member(s) if you can't find a person to carpool with.

• Bring your own food and water, we suggest you team up with a couple members to buy and cook food together.

• If you have not attended a meeting within the month preceding an official trip you will not be allowed to go.

• Sign up with the club through IMleagues.com- these forms MUST be completed before the trip.

Regarding gear

• You need to bring personal gear. Check it out from the gear officer if you need to.

For multi-day trips

• if you can't come for the whole length of the trip, gas can still be reimbursed if you follow the guidelines.

• you must bring a tent, if you don't have one you could rent one at the UNM Recreational services or pair up with someone who can bring one

• you must bring a sleeping bag, if you don't have one you could rent one at the UNM Recreational services; make sure to bring a sleeping bag in the appropriate temperature range for the trip.

We usually camp on primitive campgrounds which means:

• A 4x4 or high clearance vehicle may be needed to get to the area.

• No designated campsites or campfires pits, so you have to be aware of fire danger in the area and be responsible.

• No toilets available, and you must deal with it in a sustainable matter (the club will provide wag bags if needed).

• Bring lots of water.

• Leave no trace.
