This is my favorite of the new Sonoma County regional parks still in development. They're opening it up for a Park Preview day on the 23rd, so come on out and enjoy the park with us.

We'll meet up in the parking lot then follow the road to the trailhead. The first part of the hike is in the redwoods along the creek and is very well shaded; though, it does have some steep parts. The second half is much more exposed as we'll be traversing oak grasslands and gaining a bunch of elevation. We'll climb all the way to the far edge of the park and have lunch at a picnic table in the "bowl": a large, natural amphitheater-like formation. After lunch we'll make our way back down the same way we came up.

Overall the out-and-back hike is about **8 miles** with over 1,500 feet of elevation gain, so expect a moderately strenuous, long hike.

What to bring:

* Plenty of water (at least 2 liters)
* Sun protection (hat, sunscreen, etc)
* Lunch and snacks
* Comfortable hiking shoes

You do not need to register through the county website for this hike. I have already reserved the 10 spots for us.
