Trail Trekker Hike: Sat Dec 7th

NOTE: There are multiple parking lots to choose from. If you want the shortest walk to the trail entrance, then continue on Geary Road until it meets Ohlone Road and forms a circle turnaround. Park close to this point. We will meet at the gate at this turnaround. There is additional parking about 2-3 minutes walk away in case the parking lot at the end is full.

Pro-tip: There is little to no reception in the park - please be sure you can find the destination in the absence of cell signal.

• The hidden gem of Sunol. Little Yosemite is a fun walk for the entire family.

• The trail is primarily a wide gravel fireroad

• When we arrive at Little Yosemite there is a short tricky steep path down to the boulders along the creek - this section is optional but the kids usually love this little scramble to get to the creek.

• Bikes and dogs are allowed, and strollers with large wheels would work reasonably well here.

• We will assemble at 9:30 am at the gate at the end of Geary Road. This is the start of the trail. 

• 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.

• The group will stop about halfway to walk down to the creek. At the creeks we will discuss with the scouts different methods to filter and drink water in the wild.

• There is intermittent shade, so please bring sun protection (hat, sunscreen, etc)

• Also it can get cold in the canyon so bring warm layers

• 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.  If you have not filled one out, please bring the completed form with you to the hike and hand it to Tim Wong. This applies to all scouts, siblings, and friends if they plan to hike alongside our group.
