HIKE 'N BRUNCH

Hey Everyone,

Let's bust out a moderately butt-kicking hike to work up an appetite for brunch! YAY! http://img2.meetupstatic.com/1723755200050492932723/img/smileys/biggrin.gif

We're doing the Autumn Ridge/Meadow Vista trails in Lang Ranch in Thousand Oaks. There is a steep climb on this hike so it's not suitable for beginners. Fit beginners as well as the more seasoned hiker will enjoy our usual moderate pace. Dogs are welcome if they are well behaved, picked up after and watered!

DISTANCE: approx. 5 miles

ELEV GAIN/LOSS: approx 800 ft

DURATION: approx 2.5 hours not including brunch

We're doing brunch afterwards at Jinky's Cafe in Thousand Oaks! They have lots and lots of yummy breakfast and brunch choices to satisfy any appetite!
