Santa Cruz Hikes with Dogs Meetup

HI DOG AND PEOPLE WALKERS

Lets go get some sun on our faces, breathe some fresh sea air and stretch our legs.

Walk as far as you want on the beach then turn around and go back.

DIRECTIONS!! MEET AT HIDDEN BEACH PLAYGROUND PARKING LOT. The address is 660 Cliff Drive, Aptos, CA 95003. We will walk to the beach from there together.

THE PARKING LOT IS SMALL BUT YOU CAN ALSO PARK ON SUMNER AVENUE (the street before Townsend) near the train trestle and walk to the parking lot. On Sumner Ave, after you get to a PUD development and pass both Dry Creek Roads, Sumner starts to narrow and you should find other parked cars, that is where you park. You will walk under the train trestle to Hidden Beach parking lot and you should find us there. Call me if you have a problem. 408-390-4455. Plan an extra 10 minutes to park. Looking forward to seeing everybody Saturday!

Dogs must be vaccinated, licensed and must wear a muzzle if reactive to the other dogs or people. Please no flexi-leads.

If your plans change, please update your RSVP by 9:00 AM the morning of the walk. Three No-Shows and you will be removed from the group. We will hit the trail at 10:15 AM so if you are late, you will be walking alone.

I don't think most of you know this, but Meetup charges a $200 fee per year to use their website. It comes out of my checking account every 6 months. If you can make a small contribution to help me cover this expense, it would be appreciated.

Hi everybody,

Pogonip Spring Trail Trail (meet at end of Spring Street) is an easy approx 3 mile hike, mostly level except if we take the lime kiln detour. Interesting to see for a bit of Santa Cruz history. The trail is rocky and uneven in some places. Most of the walk is shaded by trees.

Please update your RSVP before 9:00 AM on the day of the hike if your plans change. Three No-Shows and you will be removed from the group. We will hit the trails at 10:15 AM, so please be prompt, or you will be walking by yourself.

Dogs must be licensed, vaccinated and non-aggressive. Please no Flexi-leads.

Looking forward to meeting you at Pogonip. I'd be glad to hear some suggestions about new places to meet and walk with our doggos, or if you would like to host a hike on a different day or a new location, let me know! I would love to have an occasional co-host.

Thanks, Diane
