HOT SPRINGS LOOP (SHADY)

No Hike If Raining.  Bring Plenty of Water.


This is a Friday 8:30am meetup—no need to register.

HOT SPRINGS CANYON – MODIFIED DUE TO THE HEAT

This is a variation of the Hot Springs Loop that is a little shorter and shadier, due to the expected weather conditions.  We hike to McMenemy and Saddle Rock up a largely shaded route.  We then take a lesser known connector trail back down the shaded side of the Saddlerock ridge line to the Old Hot Springs road.  We then turn left and continue to the McMenemy trail, taking a right on back to the Hot Springs trail and the start.  This loop is estimated to be three miles in length. Hiking Time: Approx. 2 hours (go at your pace). Difficulty: Moderate.

DIRECTIONS: From either direction on Fwy 101, exit at Olive Mill Road and turn toward the mountains. Continue up Olive Mill Rd 1.0 mile, crossing East Valley Rd where name changes to Hot Springs Rd. After another 1.0 mile turn left on East Mountain Drive. Go 0.2 miles to trailhead and parking spaces on the right.  

 HIKE LEADER: David Grace.

 Hope to see you there!
