Tennessee Valley Loop Hike, 3.6 miles/813 ft elevation gain

Tennessee Valley Hike

Marincello, Miwok, Old Springs Loop

3.6 miles/813 ft elevation gain

Revisiting a short and sweet well-loved hike! We will be rewarded with some great views at the top and along the way, then head back down. Short, and sweet, but with some sweat!

We meet at the Tennessee Valley Trailhead parking lot by the bathrooms. There is free parking and bathrooms at the trailhead. If the lot is full, you will need to park on the side of the road and walk in. Please be sure to allow enough time to do that.

Rain will cancel this event. If there is a question, please check back here for any notices. Thank you.

Please have "boots on" and be ready to hike at 8:30. We don't tend to wait for latecomers.
