March Hike at Elfin Forest Reserve
Join us for a Saturday morning hike at Elfin Forest Recreational Reserve where the recent rains have left some lush green scenery with waterfalls, tall grasses and blooming plants! We'll meet at the parking lot, look for the fluffy white dog in the photo. This hike will be more intermediate with steep inclines and climbs, rocky and uneven terrain, and potentially some soft and wet ground. We will lead the climb all the way to Escondido Overlook with a nice view of the reservoir; however, for those who do not want to climb the entire way, there will be an option to go back at two spots: one earlier at Botanical Loop and the other a little later at Harmony Grove Overlook.We expect the hike to last about 2 hours, dogs and families are welcome!Please note that the parking lot is small and street parking is limited. We highly encourage carpooling.For those who can stay on, we'll head to a cafe or lunch spot afterwards, location TBD.
