Spring is here and the hills are bursting with vitality! Birds, flowers, calves, and new vegetation await us on the hills of Fremont.
Our pack will walk from Ohlone College up the YSC trail to Peak/Spring Valley/Panorama trail loop.
The trail is an uneven dirt path, with some very steep parts. Good cardio workout, but not so long that the little scouts won't make it (small steps, don't stop moving!).
Bikes and dogs are allowed. This is NOT stroller friendly.
We will assemble at 9:30 am at the Mission Peak Trailhead. This is on the before the Visitor's center parking lot and is on the South side of the baseball field and large parking structure, and near the tennis courts.
Take Mission Blvd to Pine St and park in the large parking structure at the top of the hill.
The hike will proceed around 9:40am after going over the Outdoor Code and Leave No Trace (LNT) principles. We will aim to finish around 11:30am.
There is minimal shade, so please bring sun protection (hat, sunscreen, etc)
Class B uniforms (Pack t-shirt, Scout hat) for your scouts if they have them. Pack t-shirts for adults encouraged but optional.
Requirement: Scout and accompanying parent must have an Annual Health Medical Record (AHMR form) on file (forms A/B1/B2) in order to hike with us.
