The PebbleCreek Hiking Club exists to provide PebbleCreek community residents with the opportunity to enjoy recreational hiking in an organized, safe and social environment. Safety is a key concern. Hikers are accompanied by an experienced hike leader and each hike group carries an emergency satellite communicator, medical kit and walkie-talkie radios.
The regular hiking season is from October through April. In this season, 12 hikes per week are scheduled at the following levels:
EZ Level hikes (1.0-3.0 miles) every Monday
D Level hikes (3.5-5.0 miles) every Tuesday and Thursday and sometimes Saturday.
C Level hikes (6.0-8.0 miles) every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and sometimes Saturday.
B Level hikes (up to 12 miles) every Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday
A Level hikes (challenging hikes with unrestricted miles and elevation gain) are held November through March.
Summer hiking season is May through September. Due to the extreme heat, in this season seven shorter hikes per week are scheduled mostly at the C, D and EZ Levels.
