Upcoming Hike Announcement

A ginko tree in our front yard 

Fall seems to take forever to arrive in the west, but it is finally here!  The trees are showing off their true colors, the air is cooler, and some rain has come.  Although it is beautiful, it can be more difficult to get up into the mountains when it has recently rained or snowed, and the mountain temperatures can be quite low, requiring the need for specialty clothing to be comfortable and safe while hiking, so for our next hike we will head to the coastal redwoods, where trails are easily accessible year-round.  

Jaunt With Us! 
Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park
December 8

The park is near Felton on Highway 9 in the Santa Cruz mountains.  

Some trees in the park are over 1,400 years old!

Banana slugs are commonly seen here

Temperatures this time of year are usually low 60's, but can change easily, so layered clothing is recommended for hiking here.

If you are interested in joining us on this jaunt, you need to sign up by sending an email to jauntwithus@gmail.com and that way we can send you the specific details a few days before.
