All About Ramblers
The Ramblers is one of the oldest continuous clubs on the
University of Arizona campus. The club creates a campus-wide
resource for outdoor enthusiasts by providing resources, expertise,
and a forum for people to meet so the outdoor world is accessible
and fun for everyone. Hiking Club activities vary from educational
speakers about wilderness camping and hiking safety, to short day
hikes in nearby desert and mountain areas, to extended backpack,
camping, and canyoneering trips, with the occasional spelunking
thrown in.
All club activities are open to the
public; as such, we do not require members to pay dues.
The only costs associated with the Hiking Club
are personal and group expenses such as fuel, equipment, permit
fees, and the like. Camping equipment, books and maps arealso available
for loan to members.
Ramblers is a member-driven club, i.e., all hikes are planned by individual
members on their own initiative. The more people plan hikes, the better the
club becomes; so, if there is a hike you would like to do, then by all means either
plan it or request help in planning it by posting to the listserv.
Note that, since Ramblers hikes are planned and led by individual members, Ramblers
cannot guarantee that hike leaders are experienced in group leadership
or first aid. Members who come on a hike advertised on the listserv do so at their
own risk;
beginning hikers should not sign up for hikes which are lengthy and/or
deep in the wilderness. In case of any questions, communicate with the trip leader
by email before the hike starts.
