From foothills Park to Los Trancos,  13 miles, 2200 ft elev. gain

Details

We meet at Orchard Glen Picnic Area Foothills Nature Preserve. It is 6$ entrance fee.
It shouldn't be very hot , but take enough water, there are 40-50% of trails have very limited shade .
Our route: Wildhorse Fire road -> fern Lop tr -> Costanoan tr -> Los Trancos tr ( we'll cross Los Trancos open space boundary) -> Pony Tracks Fire rd -> Page Mill tr -> Lost Creek tr -> Franciscan Loop tr -> San Andreas Fault tr ( our lunch spot) -> Our return part: Franciscan Loop tr -> Lost Creek loop -> Page Mill tr ( only one trail that we'll hike twice) -> Pony Track Fire rd -> Los Trancos tr ( it is already part of Foothill Preserve...) -> Steep Hollow tr 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.
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.
