07/29 - Tilden

There was a big group today -16 hikers and Oscar. We started at Inspiration Point, went down The Meadow Canyon Tr and returned via Wildcat Gorge and Curran Trails. We started in the fog; the sun came out and we were lucky to have shade coming back up the
hill. 3 Miles.

07/22 - Kings Canyon Loop trail from Valle Vista

We are lucky to be in one of those summer patterns with morning fog to moderate the temperatures. There were 13 of us plus Oscar and Obi today. We did an out and back along the Kings Canyon Loop Tr for a total of 3.25 miles (John went much further!). There were a surprising number of interesting things to look at.

Only a few pictures in the retrospective. Late July is beginning to look like fall in many years:

07/08 - Pacheco Marsh

There were just 8 of us  (and 2 dogs) today. This was an introduction to an area which adjoins the JMLT/EMRPD/Central San restoration project. It was very warm with no shade, so we were glad to amble a mile and a half and call it a morning.

For more information on the restoration project see: https://www.jmlt.org/pacheco_marsh.html

07/01 - Redwood

11 of us started from the main parking area in the valley at Redwood RP. We walked out Stream Trail as far as the picnic area by the junction with Fern Trail. 6 of us retraced our steps while the other 5 went up Fern Trail and, I believe, made the loop  back via French.  2.75 miles for the valley out and back; more like 3.5 for the upper loop.

There were so many comments about the dead vegetation along Pinehurst Rd. that I stopped on the way back to investigate. I'm fairly certain it is broom which has been sprayed in an attempt at control.
