CONCORD — Hikers, snowshoers, cross-country and backcountry skiers, climbers and all other outdoor enthusiasts are encouraged to purchase their voluntary annual Hike Safe card for 2025. Card sales help ensure that the state Fish and Game Department’s conservation officers, trained in wilderness rescue, are ready to come to your aid if the unexpected happens.

The 2025 Hike Safe cards cost $25 for an individual, or $35 for a family, and are valid from Jan. 1–Dec. 31. The price is the same for both residents and nonresidents, and the card exempts holders from certain liability for repaying search and rescue costs if their actions are considered neither negligent nor reckless.
