Description: We meet in the parking lot near the Effie Yeaw Nature Center. After introductions, we hike trails around the golf course, along the river, through the Preserve and back to our beginning point. We alternate our direction each week.

You need to purchase a daily parking pass at the kiosk in the first parking lot, just past the unmanned guard shack. This is the ONLY Pay for Parking kiosk. There is limited free parking on Palm near San Lorenzo. If you have a membership to Effie Yeaw, an annual parking pass is included. There are also annual county park passes available at REI.

This hike will take place rain or shine and if the trail is muddy or flooded, we will take an alternate route on the blacktop.
