About this event

Having (hopefully) paid due homage to the proper Weather Gods we will hike accordingly. This is one of my favorite short hikes to experience diversity with spectacular views that could make it worth the drive. This area offers options that will be determined closer to the event. In any choice the total hiking distance will be no more than about five miles with 1,500 or less feet of cumulative elevation. There are some steep sections and wet or muddy conditions should be expected with early spring wild flowers usually in abundance.
