Late afternoon Cardio Hike
Take off the work clothes and put on the outdoor gear!
Now that the days are longer and the sun stays up til 8 p.m. there is plenty of time for a challenging hike after work. Join us on Monday, June 30th for a two and a half hour, 12 mile cardio hike. We dare you!
Come along on this fast paced trek through historic Agua Chinon Wash, passing a stand of graceful sandbar willow and bright California sunflower to the headwaters of the Sinks, Bolero Springs, and Dripping Springs. Fest your eyes on the land's most beautiful assets!
The wash shelters many bird species amongst the oaks, willows, and mulefat. American kestrels and Cooper's hawks can often be seen perched on exposed willow branches as they search for prey. This hike hits all the major destinations in Limestone canyon- you don't want to miss it!
In addition, travel though areas that were burned in the 2007 Santiago Fire. You will have the opportunity to experience the wildlands during the transition between day and twilight. Make sure to keep your eyes open for Crepuscular animals such as coyotes, bobcats and raccoons. And listen for nocturnal birds like owls, poorwills and killdeer.
Please keep in mind that this is a very fast paced hike and extremely strenuous. Be confident in your cardio fitness and hiking abilities. Please wear appropriate, sun shielding and light weight clothing. Wear footwear appropriate to the terrain and activity level. Bring adequate water, at least 48 oz.
