Rancho Canada Del Oro w/Giorgio's

Canada Del Oro means "Canyon of Gold", so be careful not to trip over the large nuggets lining the trails!
Little Llagas, Bald Peaks Trail and Longwell Canyon will give us 7.3 mile, 1315' elevation gain loop, with a fairly long gradual ascent in the beginning and a long gradual descent back down. About 50% shaded, so, even tho the forecast calls for temperatures in the 50's, don't forget the sunscreen and hats. And maybe a large backpack, or a donkey with saddlebags, to stuff all that gold into.

There is a restroom at the parking lot. Please note that we will meet up at the smaller parking lot near the trailhead. This lot can fill up on weekends so try and arrive early. There is a larger overflow lot about .3 mile past the first lot.
