Please join us for a beautiful loop hike to see the redwoods and beautiful views. The trailhead is at 3220 Vineyard Road. There is free parking along the road on Vineyard. This trail is in the Indian Tree Open Preserve.

Note that there are no restrooms or water so plan accordingly.

Members really appreciate starting on time and frown at late comers!! Please have "boots on" and be ready to hike at 9:30.

Also, you might benefit from bringing poles and using sunscreen. Bring water, snacks if you need them, and good hiking shoes/boots.
