Join leaders Sheila Colby and Joe Cernac through Calero County Park, passing a variety of exposures and habitats, grasslands, mixed deciduous woodlands, chaparral and serpentine barrens. This is a fast-paced, 6-mile hike with more than 1,500 feet of elevation gain/loss with a lot of ups and downs. Your reasonably good physical fitness is expected. Hiking poles may be helpful.
We’ll meet in the parking lot, near the visitor center, at the main entrance on McKean Rd. Please bring hat, sunscreen, lunch and plenty of water. Dress in layers. Rain cancels.
Directions: Take 101 South to Bailey Ave. (Exit 373). Turn right on Bailey Ave., go 3 mi. Turn left on McKean Rd., drive 0.7 mi. and turn right into the park to the main parking lot.
