Social Hiking At a Relaxed Pace (S.H.A.R.P.)

When: Wednesday, March 7, 2018
9:00 AM
Where:   Elings Park

A special midweek hike at Elings Park, the nation’s largest privately funded public park. We will start on the intriguing Sierra Club Trail, consisting of easily accessed pathways winding through brush and meadows and offering spectacular ridge-line views of Hendry's, Hope Ranch, Douglas Preserve and the Mesa plus, looking north, views of downtown and the Santa Ynez Mountains. Then we will cross over to the less-wild part of Elings to visit the Veterans’ Memorial Walk.

Total hike distance about three miles. Elevation gain is a published 300’, with most of the gain occurring in the first 10 minutes or so of the hike.

No need to register. Just show up. Restrooms are available. Bring water and sunblock. Downpour cancels. Hiking in light rain will depend on the trail conditions. After the hike, we will meet nearby to socialize.

Directions: From Las Positas Road (Route 225)  turn onto Jerry Harwin Parkway and follow it uphill to a cul de sac at the top. Park in the cul de sac and gather at the nearby Newcomers sign. See you Wednesday, March 7!
