HHHiker Hiking Trails Information

The HHHiker Web Site contains information pertaining to hiking trails and bushwhacks that our Club has hiked in the southwest.

The following two Excel Spread Sheets (SS) are updated monthly on the HHHiker Web Site:

This SS contains general information about a hike such as:

Trail Number -             Assigned by the HHHikers Hiking Club.  This number refers to a Trail Number on the HHHiker Trail Stats SS.

HHHikers Trail Stats SS

In addition to the trail number, trail rating and hike description, this SS contains more specific information  about a hike such as;

These two tools (Spread Sheets) are provided to assist the hike leader or hiker in navigating the adventure.  It is not meant to be a replacement for Topo maps, trail maps or trail descriptions from books.

Printing  information from these Spread Sheets –

These two Hiker Spread Sheets are maintained as Excel Spread Sheets.  If you select information from these spread sheets for printing, some information may be truncated.  A work-around solution to resolve this truncation problem is to copy the desired information from the HHHiker Web Site, paste it into an Excel Spread Sheet and print.  If you don’t have Excel, your on your own.

 When printing from the “HHHiker Stats SS” change the print orientation from “portrait” to “landscape”, review in “Page Break Preview”, adjust the overflow margins when required and print.
