Networking Walk with Women In Big Data SoCal
Newport Back Bay Vista Point, Eastbluff Drive and Back Bay Drive, Newport Beach, CA, USWomen In Big Data SoCal OC Networking Walk at Upper Newport Back Bay
Join us for a refreshing morning of networking along one of Newport Beach's most scenic trails, the Back Bay to Eastbluff loop at Upper Newport Bay Regional Park.
We'll meet at Vista Point (the intersection of Back Bay Drive and Eastbluff Drive) at 10:00 AM and set off on this easy, 4.8-mile out-and-back path. With only 108 feet of elevation gain and an estimated 1–2 hours of walking, this is a relaxed and accessible route perfect for great conversation. The wide asphalt path follows along the Back Bay with sweeping views of the bay and bluffs. Keep an eye out for the local wildlife: birds, lizards, bunnies, fish, and more.
