Instructor: Tom Sheppard, Chief Park Naturalist

Many of the County Parks have trail stems that do not avail themselves to circular hiking routes.   However, these stems offer a chance to explore some of the less known corners of the Parks.  Join Tom Sheppard, Chief Park Naturalist, once a month, for a one-way hike through these less traveled paths as he surveys these back corners.  Hikes will be moderately difficult and can require wet foot crossing, walking through knee high vegetation, crossing uneven stone fields, as well as slopes.  Enrollment will be limited since a shuttle will transport the group from our gathering point to the starting point of our hike.  Each hike will cover somewhere between to 2 to 3 miles, time is a general estimate, and we may finish before the stated time.  Please dress appropriately for weather and ground conditions, bring a snack, and at least a quart of water.
