Each of the local
groups of the Oklahoma Chapter of the Sierra Club leads

Activities include day hikes, backpacks, canoe trips and
visits to museums. Each group also does several trail
maintenance trips in Oklahoma & Arkansas. (trips listed
below)
important
notes about outings
- Leaders and assistants
are trained volunteers who work hard to
make each trip a success.
- To sign up for an
outing, please contact the leader.
- In order to
participate in one of the Sierra Club's outings, you
will need to sign a
liability waiver. In the interests of facilitating
the logistics of some outings, it is customary that
participants make carpooling arrangements. The Sierra
Club does not have insurance for carpooling arrangements
and assumes no liability for them. Carpooling, ride
sharing or anything similar is strictly a private
arrangement among the participants. Participants assume
the risks associated with this travel.
- All Sierra Club
outings are open to members and non-members alike. You
may sign up for outings at the group's monthly meetings
or by contacting the leader of the outing by phone or
e-mail. Children are welcome on most day hikes when
accompanied by an adult. Contact the outing's leader to
determine if the outing is appropriate for your child.
Pets are not allowed unless the outing is designated as
a "pet's permitted outing". Firearms are not allowed.
Electronic music devices are not allowed. Outing leaders
have the final word before and during the outing they
are leading and may set minimum fitness, experience
and/or equipment requirements for their trip and may
screen applicants accordingly. Contact the outing leader
for any questions about a particular outing.
Transportation is not a part of the outing. However,
car-pooling is encouraged. REIMBURSEMENT for drivers is
recommended at a rate of 10 cents per mile per person.

December 26 through January 2. Winter backpack in Big
Bend National Park that will cross the desert floor just
north of the Rio Grande, looping between several remote
desert springs. The hike will be strenuous, but
the payoff is camping in seldom-seen places and having
the entire desert to ourselves at night. The scenery in
this area is dramatic peaks, varied arid country
vegetation and the geological leavings of the centuries.
