THE INVITEES HAVE BEEN UPDATED TODAY TO INCLUDE OUR NEWEST SCOUTS. IF YOU WANT TO GO, PLEASE CONTACT MR. PATTON BEFORE TUESDAY.
Do you want the chance to see condors in their natural habitat? Are you eager to visit the most underrated park in California (according to Outside Magazine)? Then this trip to Pinnacles National Park is for you. We are planning on meeting at Big 5 on Saturday, May 13th at 6:00 with a 6:15 departure so we can get up to Pinnacles early in the day. From there, we shall take a quick, short hike on the Moses Spring Trail to enjoy some snacks by the reservoir there. After replenishing ourselves and stretching our legs, we shall embark on one of my favorite hikes in the state, the High Peaks Trail. We’ll eat lunch on the trail and from there make our way back to our vehicles. Depending on time, we can learn more about the flora and fauna at the Nature Center (if open), and then make our way to our campsites, located about 15-20 minutes outside the park at Bar SZ Ranch. After setting up camp, eating a hearty dinner and getting a good night’s sleep, we’ll wake up, eat breakfast, pack up camp and head back to the park on Sunday morning. Once there, we can make our way on the Balconies Cave Trail, enjoying the amazing sights offered by a series of caves and tunnels carved by water, providing us with great views of the park. After that, we’ll have some lunch and then make our way back home, hopefully getting back to Santa Barbara by 4/4:30 p.m.
If that sounds like a great way to spend a weekend, then please sign up. There are 18 spots available, so reserve your spot today. If you’re not sure, you have through May 2nd to do so.
WE NEED SIGNUPS AND PAYMENTS ($50 per participant) BY MAY 2, 2023.
