Join leaders Sheila Colby and Joe Cernac through Calero County Park, passing a variety of exposures and habitats, grasslands, mixed deciduous woodlands, chaparral and serpentine barrens. This is a fast-paced, 6-mile hike with more than 1,500 feet of elevation gain/loss with a lot of ups and downs. Your reasonably good physical fitness is expected. Hiking poles may be helpful.

Directions: Take 101 South to Bailey Ave. (Exit 373). Turn right on Bailey Ave., go 3 mi. Turn left on McKean Rd., drive 0.7 mi. and turn right into the park to the main parking lot.
