Name: Manzanita to Elsmere TOUGH HIKE- Slide Mountain canceled
Start: 2013-02-09T08:00:00-08:00
End: 2013-02-09T11:00:00-08:00
Location: Sierra Hwy/ Newhall Ave. Park and Ride

Saturday, February 9

The I-5 freeway is currently closed at Lake Hughes. We do not know if it will be open or not, so we are changing the hike for today. Slide Mountain will be rescheduled.

Today we will be hiking up Manzanita Mountain, going to the Placerita Towers on 3N17, the following an old, ingrown fuel break to the Santa Clara Truck Trail. From there we will enter the Newest portion of the Elsmere Acquisition, and then go into the old Elsmere. From there, we will make our way back to where we parked the cars in the AM at Whitney Cyn.

Directions to trail head: Take the I-5 Freeway to the SR-14 North. Exit Newhall Avenue. Take the option to the right. When you reach the stop sign, turn right. Park in the Park and ride. We will meet here at 8:00 AM and depart at 8:10 AM for the trail head. We will carpool so most of the cars will be here when you return. We'll need a couple of cars to shuttle the drivers back to the trail head after the hike

Bring WATER-lots of it, lunch, snacks, camera, poles if you have them, and preferably waterproof boots (we'll be going through wet grass).

This is a tough hike. Be prepared!! It is appx 11 miles with an 1800 ft gain.
