Boise Grand Slam **EVENT SIGN-UP** OVERNIGHT

Time to start training for the Grand Slam!

The Boise Grand Slam is a hiking challenge created by Tom Lopez (creator of great books about hiking and backpacking ). Washington has its grand slam: Mailbox peak, Mt. Si, and Mt. Teneriffe; Oregon Mount Defiance, Devil's Rest, and Dog Mountain. In Boise, The Grand Slam Peaks are Cervidae, Kepros Mountain, Shaw Mountain/Lucky Peak, and Mount Heinen. Most grand slams are done in 24 hrs, but I will generously give us 48 hrs since we have 4 peaks to scale.

I am not a guide but a facilitator. Please come prepared to contribute to the objective. I put a significant amount of time planning to ensure the safety and enjoyment of all participants. By signing up, you agree to be responsible for your own safety. Please inform the organizer as soon as possible with any cancellations but no later than 7 pm the night before the meet up. Last minute sign ups welcomed. No shows/no communication is unfair to others who are on the waitlist and makes planning difficult for the organizer. Please review our no-show policy. If you are sick, please stay home and hike with us another time.
