We will have a 9-mile loop hike and lunch. We will hike up to Skyline and then back down to the cars. We will hike Eagle Trail, Razorback Ridge Trail, Bay Area Ridge Trail, and Hamms Gulch Trail. This hike is mainly in the shade, strenuous, and has great views. No dogs are allowed on segments of this hike.
Please bring water & food on the hike. There is NO drinking water on this hike.
Wear boots or sturdy walking shoes appropriate for rugged trails and all hikes. Dress in layers (t-shirt, long-sleeved shirt, sweater, and/or jacket). The weather in the Santa Cruz Mountains can be unpredictable. No matter which season it is, be prepared for rain,
wind, fog, or sun. Carry water and a snack in a small pack. Bring sun protection (hat, sunscreen) and insect repellent.
Restrooms are not always available; please plan accordingly.

Signup Instructions: Please RSVP by Monday night, 4/12/2025, at 9 PM so I know who to expect on this hike. It is very difficult for me to deal with last-minute RSVPs. Please also give me your cell phone number so I may call you at the last minute if someone is sick. I will not hike alone, so I will only attend the hike if I get an RSVP. Bring your Medical Form and show it to the hike leader. Then, please keep it in your pack's first aid kit.
Bring: Water bottle, sun hats, sunscreen, and lunch. Bring a Medical form (see below), water, lunch, & hiking poles. Medical forms can be accessed at: https://www.sierraclub.org/sites/www.sierraclub.org/files/sce-authors/u18972/Outings%20Medical%20Form.pdf

Additional Directions: Meet at Alpine Road Entrance; from 280, take the Alpine Road/Portola Valley exit and head west towards the mountains. Go for about 4 miles and look for a parking area on the right-hand side of the road right before Willowbrook Drive, or turn right onto Willowbrook and look for parking. The Alpine Road exit is between the Page Mill and Sand Hill Road exit in Palo Alto.
Carpool: I encourage everyone to carpool since it is good for the environment and it helps build community.
Note: Carpool transportation is at the sole risk of the participants.
Cancellation Policy: Activity is held rain or shine, but may be altered due to inclement weather
