Common Sense

All users of this website must assume full responsibility for their own actions and personal safety while hiking, running, biking, or recreating outdoors on any trail. I am not responsible for any injury you may occur by using the information on this website.

The information on this blog, including trail descriptions, gear recommendations, and personal experiences, are intended for entertainment and informational purposes only. While I try my best, I cannot guarantee the absolute correctness of all information on this website. Use common sense while on the trail and hike, run, or bike within your abilities.

You are solely responsible for your own safety and well-being.

Remember to always:

  • Research and choose trails appropriate for your skill level and physical fitness. Trail conditions can change rapidly, so consult official sources for current information before heading out.
  • Be prepared for the unexpected. Pack necessary gear for weather changes, emergencies, and potential hazards.
  • Practice Leave No Trace principles. Respect the environment and other hikers.
  • Try not to hike alone. Even though I do it from time to time, I have lots of experience. Bring a buddy or inform someone of your plans and expected return time.
  • Heed all warnings and posted signs (like trail closures or private property signs). They're there for your safety.
  • Use your best judgment. If something feels unsafe, turn back and re-evaluate. To quote the mountaineer Ed Viesturs from No Shortcuts to the Top, "Getting to the top is optional. Getting back down is mandatory."
