Outings Location Advisories

Outings Locations Advisories (OLA) are posted as a reference for those who are planning Sierra Club outings. OLA provide information on specific locations regarding the condition, sensitivity of wildlife and/or endangered plant life, as well as heavy- to overuse of trails, conditions, etc. In some cases Native American permits are required in advance or areas are closed for a period of rehabilitation. In others, potential users are reminded of Sierra Club policy regarding noise, motorized travel, etc. It is the responsibility of outings leaders to check Outings Locations Advisories prior to arranging Sierra Club-sanctioned outings and/or hikes throughout Arizona and before planning similar activities in other states.
