Santa Cruz hikes with dogs at Pogonip Park, end of Spring Street

Map Link to the location -

Pogonip Spring Trail (meet at end of Spring Street) is an easy approx 3 mile hike, mostly level except if we take the lime kiln detour. Interesting to see for a bit of Santa Cruz history. The trail is rocky and uneven in some places. Most of the walk is shaded by trees.

Please update your RSVP before 9:00 AM on the day of the hike if your plans change. Three No-Shows and you will be removed from the group. We will hit the trails by 10:15 AM, so please be prompt or you will be walking by yourself.

Dogs must be licensed, vaccinated and non-aggressive. Please no Flexi-leads.

I don't think most of you know this, but Meetup charges a $200 fee per year to use their website. It comes out of my checking account every 6 months. If you can make a small contribution to help me cover this expense, it would be appreciated.

Looking forward to meeting you at Pogonip. I'd be glad to hear some suggestions about new places to meet and walk with our doggos, or if you would like to host a hike on a different day or a new location, let me know! I would love to have an occasional co-host.

Thanks, Diane
