Join us for a hilly, challenging, sparsely shaded ramble through Briones Regional Park, starting from the Lafayette Ridge Staging Area. This hike is a nice combination of single track and fire trails. Temps are expected to be in the 40s and 50s during our hike.

We'll hike at a moderate 20-23 minute per mile (3-2.6mph) pace, regroup at trail junctions, and take a 10-minute snack break at Russell Peak. Turns will be marked with white chalk. Navigate by following marks, AllTrails map, Briones paper map/brochure, and/or by walking with someone who has these tools. ***It's your responsibility to keep pace with the group.*** Members who hike with us regularly receive preference on the waitlist.

If you haven’t been on one of my hikes recently, are a strong hiker, & KNOW you can do this hike and keep up with the group, please reply: “Yes, I can do this hike and keep up.” Then I’ll move you off the waitlist.
