SUMMARY:Let's Go Outdoors! San Jose Creek 2-mile hike | October 24 (9am - 2pm)
DESCRIPTION:Join Big Sur Land Trust for a gentle 2-mile guided hike along the San Jose Creek Trail. \n\n\nEvery step of this hike was made possible through our partnership with the Monterey Peninsula Regional Park District\, California State Parks\, and Point Lobos Foundation as collaborative members of the Lobos Corona Parklands project – along with generous donors and funders. Shuttles will transport hikers from Palo Corona Regional Park (Rancho Cañada) to the Ishxenta State Park San Jose Creek trailhead\, which is only accessible through guided hikes. From there\, we will meander up the gentle incline along San Jose Creek\, looking for early wildflowers along the way. After crossing over San Jose Creek’s three magnificent redwood bridges\, we will arrive at the meadow that will be our turnaround point. This hike is a beautiful reminder that collaboration can bring beautiful change and that our actions are stronger when taken together. We are grateful to our partners and to our donors for each step forward that we take together. \nBring: Snacks to enjoy along the hike\, plus everything you need for a half-day of backcountry hiking. Sturdy closed-toe hiking shoes are required\, and layers are recommended. \n\nDistance: 2 miles\nElevation: 150′ total ascent\nDifficulty: Easy\nPace: Easy\n\nPlease note: \n\nEach participant must be individually registered (including kids\, who need to be accompanied by an adult).\nTransport from the meet-up location to the trailhead (approx. 10 min drive) will be by facilitated carpool.\n\nCAUTION: While the trails we will be on are well-tended\, this area is known to have extremely high tick densities. Please take extra precautions when preparing for this hike (wear light-colored clothes\, wear pants that can be tucked into socks\, bring and use tick repellent\, etc.) and be sure to do a thorough tick-check following your day with us. \nRegister >>
