Let’s burn off Christmas Dinner with an afternoon workout hike!
Distance: 6 miles
Elevation Gain: 1300′
Difficulty: Intermediate due to pace and distance
Dogs: No
Restrooms: Yes only if the community center is open
Water Fountain: Yes at trailhead
Parking: Free, Community Center parking lot.
Trail: Out and back
We will start from the Dos Vientos Community Center and take a round about way, lengthening a hike that you might have started at Via Ricardo.
Sunset: 4:52pm
Weather: Unusual weather, rain or windy conditions may cancel the hike
Known Dangers: Rattlesnakes, slip-‘n-fall, poison oak can be on this hike
Bring: a light layer in case it is chilly on the way back, a light just in case we take longer than planned or if you need to see in dim light, sunscreen, hat or sunglasses, wear proper hiking shoes and bring poles if you need to.
I suggest 2-3 liters of water and a snack as well.
