Pulgas Water Temple Hike (Front Country)
Rating: 1A2 (3.6 miles, 200 feet)

San Francisco built Pulgas Water Temple as a monument to the engineering marvel that brought Hetch Hetchy water more than 160 miles across California from the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the Bay Area. The temple is not open to cars on weekends, so we’ll meet at the intersection of Edgewood and Cañada Road at 9:45 am. We’ll walk the 1.8 miles to the temple on the Crystal Springs trail and view the temple and sit down and enjoy a snack and a rest on the grounds. Afterwards, we’ll retrace our steps back to Edgewood and Cañada intersection. Bring a snack, water, and sun protection. The Crystal Springs trail is mostly flat but has the occasional short up and down hills and has rocky, dirt, and gravely sections so it is recommended to wear shoes with good tread and protection from mud. Hiking poles also come in handy for a couple of the short downhills. 

Rain cancels. No pets allowed. Participants must be 18 years or older.
