Let's hike the Al Foster Trail. Who can pass up a 57 degree January day!

Meet time 3:00 PM, hike at 3:05. Sunset is 4:57, so we must exit the park by 5:27.
Meet in the second parking lot on the left, near the trailhead sign.

PACE: My pace is about 2.5-3 MPH

DISTANCE: Expect to take about 2-ish hours to complete.
We will choose one of these options:
Al Foster to Sherman's Beach and return is about 5 miles, flat crushed limestone.
Al Foster to Bluffview overlook and return is about 5 miles, hilly earthen trail.
Al Foster to Rock Hollow Trail and return is about 6.2 miles, flat crushed limestone on Al Foster, then paved on the Rock Hollow trail.

Bring: Plenty of water for yourself, wear good walking shoes or hiking shoes, dress for the weather, BUG REPELLENT once the mosquitos start coming out, and maybe a snack.

Restrooms are in the parking lot but they're closed during winter months.
There may be a porta-potty available.

Pets kept on short leads (no flexi-leads) are welcome.

THIS HIKE WILL BE CANCELED IF THERE IS BAD WEATHER.
