This is a great hike to start the hiking season!
Hike details: We will be hiking the loop around Jenkinson Lake at Sly Park in Pollock Pines. This is an 8.3 mile hike with rolling terrain. There are no major climbs but the course does have a number of hills. If you are reasonably fit and can hike 8+ miles at a pace of at least 3mph, this is a great hike for you!
What to bring: This hike is not an all-day trip. The hike is usually completed in three hours max, so a snack and a couple bottles of water or sports drink should be all that you’ll need for this one. Check the Pollock Pines weather on the morning of the hike to see what clothing layers are appropriate, and of course good boots or shoes for hiking on a hilly trail are a must.
Transportation: We will carpool for this hike. When signing up, please let us know if you are willing to drive. It’s about a 45-minute drive to the trailhead, and there is a $5 parking fee. We will meet at 7am in the front parking lot at Lakeside.
To RSVP: Emailing Mike Smith at michael.smith16@att.net with any questions and to RSVP. We cap our hikes at 12 people, so RSVP right away!
