Pinnacles National Park Mapping Party and Hike

GPS units available for loan, along with instructions for use.

What's a mapping party? (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Pinnacles_National_Park_Mapping_Party)

Open to everyone. Get to know the Guadalupe Regional Group, Loma Prieta Chapter and Sierra Club. We will start on the East side then hike over to the West side for lunch. Easy paced 8 miles and 800 foot elevation gain. Bring lunch, water, water resistant hiking boots, rain gear if needed. Flash light would come in handy. Meet at the visitor center/store and pay entrance fee of up to $16. Steady rain cancels. Two car pool locations: 8:00 AM at Los Gatos Municipal Parking Lot (Highway 9 between University Ave & Santa Cruz Ave, behind Chase bank). Or at 8:30 am at the McDonalds parking lot in the Gilroy Outlets. The outing begins and ends at the trail head. Carpooling is not the responsibility of the Sierra Club.

This hike will start at the visitor center/campground store, taking the bench trail through the caves, to the reservoir.

Co-listed Sierra Club, Loma Prieta Chapter, Guadalupe Regional Group (http://sierraclub.org/loma-prieta/Guadalupe-Regional-Group).

No post-hike data transfer and uploading because of the remote location. Data can be e-mailed to participants, along with instructions for using the OpenStreetMap wiki
