Meet at the small dirt parking lot.

Join me 4 miles backpack to Santa Paula punchbowls. We’re doing 8 miles round trip. River crossing be prepare. The idea is to get to the first Water. It might be more than 4 miles. Since it is hot, I believe this is perfect time for an over nighter close to the water. I been there before and it’s a nice area to backpack or for a day hike. You can hike it or do a backpack. Wish ever you prefer.

What to bring: backpacking gear, hat, sun protector, hiking sticks, own food, 2.5 liters of water. There will be plenty of water so bring your water filter. And of course your swim shorts.
