WORK WEEK BLUES CHASER

Hey Everyone,

Let's bust out a stress-reliever hike and shake off those work-week blues!

We haven't done this one in a long time, and it's a good one!

http://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/2/d/d/8/600_15371736.jpeg Join us on this early evening hike on Mount Clef in Wildwood park. We'll start with a short jaunt on the Mesa trail as it connects to the Santa Rosa trail, which offers a strong ascent up Mount Clef. Continuing on the eastern side of the mountain as the trail hugs just below the ridgeline, we'll be overlooking the Santa Rosa valley and beyond. This will connect us to the Lower Butte trail as it dips down over the Conejo and circles us back to where we started.

Some of this hike will be in the dusk/dark. Dogs are welcome as long as they are leashed and picked up after.

ELEV. GAIN/LOSS: approx. 900 ft.
