Ridge Trail to Olema Trail Scouting Shuttle Hike (8/27) Preview

This week we'll head back out to the Olema Valley to scout out a new hike that we've not previously done. Here are the details:

Directions to trailhead: Meet at Highway 1 and the McCurdy Trail at milepost 18.17, north of Dogtown. This is where we began our last hike to Five Brooks (where you should stop on the way to the trailhead if you need to use a restroom.)

We'll carpool from the McCurdy Trail to PRBO on Mesa Road which is the road to Palomarin.

More on this hike: The plan is to take Ridge Trail to Texiera Trail and return on Olema Valley Trail.  The hike will be 4.8 miles long with an elevation gain of about 900'. (Click here to view the trails on the Point Reyes National Seashore South District Hiking Map. This Google Earth photo shows the area where we'll be hiking.)


SINCE WENDY CAN'T CHECK OUT THIS ONE-WAY SHUTTLE HIKE ALONE, CALL HER AT 457-3949 OR EMAIL bdreskin@comcast.net IF YOU ARE COMING!

What is the difference between scouting and regular hikes? 

1) It's free!

2) Wendy doesn't guarantee to get us back on time.  

3) Wendy doesn't not to get you lost!

Weather forecast: As you Friday morning, August 23, the National Weather Service forecast for the hike was patchy fog before 11am. Otherwise, mostly sunny, with a high near 70. (Click here for an updated forecast.)
