Cascades Mountaineers sponsors outings to nearby mountains and rock climbing areas. Outings are led by individual members who enjoy sharing hiking, climbing, backpacking, and other outdoor experiences. We hope that you will participate in or help plan and coordinate an outing. Outings are open to club members only.
For reports on outings that have already taken place, see our past outing reports.
Please note: You need to have appropriate experience if you want to join an Outing. If you would like to gain more experience in a supervised setting, one option is to seek instruction from a professional guiding company. There are excellent professional guiding companies in Oregon that will be happy to provide instruction, some gear, and guide you to your goal. For links to websites of guiding companies click here.
The club is always looking for quality outings organized by qualified coordinators. We hope that you will share one of your favorite places or activities with other club members.
Check out the following documents, draft an Outing Prospectus for your favorite outing, and then submit it to the Outings Committee.
