Wednesday Sunset Hike: Eaton-Walnut Canyon Loop
Eaton Canyon Nature Center (map)
Greetings! This week's hike Eaton Canyon / Walnut Canyon Loop.
DESCRIPTION: Another good hike to catch the sunset; about three to four miles round trip with moderate elevation gain on the ascent; mostly sunny and open with an occasional stream crossing and rock hopping. The trail is well maintained, especially the brief section of the Mt. Wilson Toll Road (we'll be able to stop atop the bridge for a scenic view of the canyon below), though the descent from Walnut Canyon is steep and partly eroded in spots.
THE BASICS: Be sure to bring drinking water (plus food if you like), a flashlight, and to wear appropriate clothes and footwear. Walking sticks are recommended for all hikes. There are no extreme athletes in our club and we tend to proceed at a walking pace so we can enjoy the surroundings and each other's company. All ages and abilities invited; dogs are also welcome!
This week we will begin promptly at 6pm... don't be late!. Our hike leader is Rosann Volmert. Stay tuned for weekly updates. Please RSVP with any questions.
See you there!

HAH! I wish Paul. Maybe I can eventually do that ~ once I get into better shape. I am taking a CPR and First Aid class... but.. don't know the qualifications to join the MR team. I wish I was about 40 years younger. No, I joined the Volunteers on Patrol so I'll be going to 3 evenings and 1 day of training for that.

A noble cause- good luck with your schoolin'. My good friend (and boss), Jeff Moran, is a volunteer medic/deputy with the Altadena Sheriff Dept. I hear they have a great team.

Oooh! Well, thank you! So far, I'm liking what and who I see. Everyone's been very friendly, even when I called them for a situation next door and they didn't know who I was.
