NOTE: Dogs and other pets are only allowed on Loma Prieta Pride Sierrans' hikes if indicated by the leader in the write up.
As of August 2021, the Sierra Club let us know we are free to start leading hikes again with the following guidelines/rules: If you are experiencing any possible COVID symptoms or are sick, you should not attend the hike or event. Masks and COVID vaccinations are not required on the hike or at events. You are welcome to wear a mask if it makes you comfortable. Keep in mind that you are potentially going to be on a trip with both vaccinated and unvaccinated people. It is your choice to attend the outing knowing this information. The number of people on a hike is limited to 10 to allow for easier social distancing among participants. Hikes will be rated as back country or front country. Back country hikes will require each participant to fill out a medical form at the start of the hike (provided by the hike leader) in order to participate in the hike. Front country hikes will operate as hikes did before the COVID pandemic.
Loma Prieta Pride Sierrans is an official activity section of the Loma Prieta chapter of the Sierra Club . We offer the gay, lesbian, bisexual, asexual, and transgender community and their allies a variety of outdoor activities mostly located on the Peninsula or in the South bay. We encourage participation in the Sierra Club's mission to explore, enjoy and protect the wild places of the earth.
This meetup group will serve to publicize some of our outdoor activities but not all of them. To find out about all our activities visit our web site at https://www.sierraclub.org/loma-prieta/gls . Since we are part of the Sierra Club, you will be asked to sign a liability form at the start of our hikes. If you want to read it in advance its online at https://www.sierraclub.org/sites/www.sierraclub.org/files/sce/loma-prieta-chapter/GLS/GLS_SignUp2.pdf.

Easy Hike at Shoreline Lake Park

Shoreline Park, Mountain View (Front Country) Rating: 1A1 (3 miles, 50 feet)Join us for a late morning easy hike or walk and optional meal afterwards.
This is a short, easy hike or walk with a possible meal at Michael’s café afterwards. We start from the entrance in front of the lobby of Michael’s Bar and Grill which is located at 2960 N. Shoreline Blvd. Mountain View, CA 94040 at Shoreline Park in Mountain View. From there, we cross the parking lot and walk over a bridge to follow Shoreline Lake. We pass Rengstorff House, an historical building, as well as the docking area on the lake. We turn right where construction closes the lakeside path and head to a paved multiuse trail that borders on the reclaimed Mountain View tidal marsh. We join the Bay Trail and continue following the marshlands for another mile and a half or so, walking along the bay for a while. This is an out and back walk or hike, so we turn around and retrace our steps. The surfaces are mostly paved. When we get back to Michael’s, we can get a sandwich, salad, or similar meal at the restaurant at the end of the hike (optional).
Bring plenty of water, a hat, and sunscreen as the entire hike is exposed with no shade. Bring a snack and/or a credit card or
cash if you would like a meal or snack at Michael’s. The total time will vary, depending on getting a meal or snack afterwards.
