Mountain bikes, road bikes, and touring bikes are all available to rent. Let us help outfit your next outdoor adventure.
Climbing
Wall
Stop by the climbing wall, located on the lower level of the Recreation and Wellness Center any time the wall is open.
After a quick orientation, members may climb using the auto belays, boulder at the cave and towers, and climb with a top rope skills-verified member belaying.
Use of the climbing wall is free to all members, and no experience is necessary.
The greatest adventure is what lies ahead.
