WEEKEND AMBLERS: MORE MESA WALK

When: Sunday April 7th @ 9:00 AM. No need to register.
Where: Corner of Vieja Drive and Mockingbird Lane, 900 Mockingbird Lane, Goleta

Join us as we explore More Mesa in Goleta. More Mesa is an undeveloped bluff-top mesa that rests 120 feet above the ocean, with panoramic views from the Santa Ynez Mountains to the Channel Islands. Rare birds, including kites, harriers, and merlins make their home on the Mesa.

This is a 2.8-mile loop with little elevation gain. Dogs on leash are welcome. No need to register, just show up. Bring water and sunscreen, there is no shade. We will go to Lighthouse Coffee in the Turnpike Shopping Center, 199 S Turnpike Rd #101, Goleta, CA 93111, afterwards for coffee and treats.

Directions: From Hollister (either direction) turn toward the water at the light at Puente Drive (left if you are going west, right if you are going east). Puente Drive becomes Viega Drive. Park on Viega Drive close to Mockingbird Lane. There's no parking on Mockingbird Lane, so walk up the Mockingbird Lane hill from Viega Drive to the trailhead (or get dropped off at the top of Mockingbird Lane.) Look for the Newcomers Sign.

If rain is forecast for the morning hours, the walk will be cancelled. A determination will be made on Saturday and a cancellation notice will be sent out if necessary.
