Our hike will take us out past a handful of lakes, including Bass, Pelican, Ocean, and Wildcat – all not far inland from the ocean. We’ll have lunch at Alamere Falls either on the way inbound at about 4.5 miles, or on the way back around 7 miles, depending on the group’s overall pace and whether there is any lingering fog. We’ll hike at a pace of about 2.5 miles/hr while moving. End time noted is approximate.
