Not so late Moderate hike @Rhus Ridge > Rancho SA; 8-9 mi/1500' gain)

Join us for a hike from the RHUS RIDGE Trailhead to the Rancho San Antonio Farm and back. This is a MODERATE-level route at about 8-9 miles with approx. 1500' elevation gain.

This route is partially shaded but long stretches are exposed to the sun. Long pants recommended to avoid bugs and poison oak.
Here is the route https://www.alltrails.com/explore/trail/us/california/rhus-ridge-and-chamise-trail?u=i&sh=jtxak0

I'll wait about 15min with intention to start hiking at 10:30. All things considered, the entire loop should take about 3 hours. Won't take a formal lunch stop but can take water breaks as often as needed. Will maintain group for entire duration, stopping at intersections.

NOTE!!!: Meet at Rhus Ridge Trailhead https://maps.app.goo.gl/pByBYSbuiq51YDvj9........ BUT parking is extremely limited (6 spaces only). Most park at Foothill College parking lot and walk an extra mile to trailhead.
