Unless otherwise noted, all Trails Club events are free and open to the public, and leashed dogs are welcome. And in case you're wondering (or worried), the pace of our walks is relaxed (like everything else about the Club). We go out to explore and enjoy the trails, and aren't trying to set speed records for completing the routes. We stop from time to time to point out interesting things, or to let folks catch up, or catch our breath, and we make sure no one falls behind. There's more information about our walks on the FAQ page.
