Can't beat this one if the weather cooperates.

  • Friday February 19th, we'll meet at the Bear Valley Visitor Center at 2 PM. We'll climb over the ridge and descend to great views to Coastal Camp. ~5.5. miles and 1,100 ft vertical.
  • Saturday we'll head southeast on the coastal trail, stop at Kelham beach and then back to the visitor center. ~8 miles with insignificant vertical. Access to Kelham beach requires a bit of scrambling.
  • Cost is $15 and is non refundable. There is a required $85 deposit that will be refunded after completing the trip or if the trip is cancelled for any reason.
  • Here is the approximate route.
  • Bad weather will cancel.
  • RSVPs are locked by default. Email me first - reachdani @ gmail.com to coordinate a call to discuss the trip, your expereince, fitness etc. Please include your phone number and times that work for you for a call.
  • There are currently 4 slots available (we will be 8 on this trip).
  • Details re equipment, carpooling etc. will be discussed on the mandatory pre-trip conference call on the 16th. No signing up after that.
  • RSVPs will be opened ad-hoc after we speak and the fee and deposit are paid.
  • I (Daniel Shefer) reserve the sole right to modify the trip itinerary as I deem necessary at any time.
  • Bear canisters are recommended as the critters can get feisty. No pets allowed.

Since I'm a new organizer in this group, here's a bit about me.
I've been hiking since before GPS was a thing and organizing backpacking trips and day hikes for the past several years for various MeetUp groups. Safety comes first and we hike as a group hence the focus on appropriate fitness and experience. I haven't lost anyone on the trail yet, not even the person who went looking for bears in SNP without telling me...
I look forward to seeing you on the trail. The mountains are calling!
