Dias Ridge Hike
Details
From the Dias Ridge Trailhead, we will go down sunny Dias Ridge to the Pelican Inn. We will take a snack / restroom break at Muir Beach. A short roadside walk from Myir Beach takes us to Redwood Creek Trail for the shadier trip back up the mountain.
Docent Franklin Young will lead this hike of about 6 miles, 1000 feet, a moderate walk at a moderate pace. Hike docents have been trained under the California State Parks Volunteers In the Park Program (VIPP).
