Henry Cowell , San Lorenzo river &More , 11 miles ,1900 ft elv. gain


Details
We meet at Rincon Parking Lot | Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park.
ATTENTION! We'll cross San Lorenzo river and tributaries 3-5 times, so crocs or water shoes will be handy.
We'll explore new area for me: East Slope Nature reserve, Seven Springs Nature Reserve, and West Marshall nature reserve. I never hiked there , Alltrails shows multiple trails there, hope some of them are open to public.
Some areas belong to Wilder Ranch state park
Our route: Rincon connection trail -> U- Con trail -> Rock and Roll tr -> Geoff's trail -> Pipe Dream tr -> West rd -> 44 logs -> Seven Springs tr -> ( skipping some small trails and segments) -> Roller Coaster ( with lunch stop ) -> Sweetness -> OX Road tr -> 1 st river crossing ( river can wide knee deep) -> River trail ( 3 small creek crossing) -> Rincon Fire rd -> Big Rock Hole tr -> Buckey tr with final river crossing -> Rincon Fire rd back to cars.
Our pace: 2.5 -2.8 per mile. Hike's length and elevation gain is based on Alltrails route estimate. Real one can be longer 1-2 miles.
It is good to have >2.5L water, sturdy hiking shoes , layers clothes , and lunch food. In addition water shoes!
It is not good idea to join the hike if you don't plan to complete full route.
Contact me using private meetup messages or comments in case you have questions. I may help with carpool options.
Attendance limit - 12. I may add extra 4 hikers based on hiking points.
Hikers who cancel after RSVP closed will get 'NO SHOW', unless they provide reasonable excuse.
