HIKERS: Fifield-Cahill Trail - Skyline College to Hwy 92

THIS EVENT IS FOR HIKERS WHO NEED A RIDE FROM THE END OF THE TRAIL

Hike number three!

We're getting out into nature a bit more. This hike takes us through the Fifield-Cahill section of the Bay Area Ridge Trail.

We'll start from the Notch Trailhead near Skyline College, and hike through to a parking area at Upper Crystal Spring Reservoir Vista Point, just off Highway 92 in San Mateo county.

This is a cool hike because we'll have access to the Fifield-Cahill trail which is not generally accessible to the public. We'll be hiking with a docent named Bob, who will get us past the locked gates and help make sure that we take care of the land as we pass through!

Notes for the day:

Take care of yourself!

• We are not likely to have rain, but it could be any combination of sunny, foggy and windy. Prepare accordingly!
• The forecast is anywhere from the mid 50s up to about 80 degrees.
• Remember sunscreen, glasses and a hat if you need them.
• Bring plenty of water. I'll probably bring two liters.
• Bring a snack or lunch. There are no places to get food on this hike!
