Most senior centers have only one hiking group. For these centers, the group name is the same as the center abbreviation. For the centers that have or have had more than one hiking group, the group name is the center abbreviation followed by one or more letters indicative of that particular group. For example, the Palo Duro Senior Center’s Wednesday hiking group’s name is PDSCW, PDSC plus W for Wednesday.

Palo Duro 50+ Sports & Fitness Center Hiking Groups
The hiking groups associated with the Palo Duro 50+ Sports & Fitness Center (PDFIT-M and PDFIT-F) are operated separately from the Senior and Multigenerational Centers. They hold sign-up events twice a year when hikers can sign up for hikes from either of these groups for the following 6 months. Hikers must fill out a registration form and liability waiver for each hiking season.
If you need to cancel a trip, call at least 24 hours before the hike is scheduled to meet. (You may leave a cancellation message on the PD-FIT voicemail system.) There are penalties if you forget to do this. If the trip is full and you’re on the wait list, you can show up the morning of the trip and become eligible to go if there is a ‘no show’ from the roster.
Senior Center Hiking Groups
Call the center to sign up and reserve a seat for each upcoming hike. Dates that signups start are listed for each hike in the Hike Schedule. Drop-ins are accommodated if van space is available and no special hiker limits will be exceeded.
