Cowell-Purisima trail with Spanishtown (Mexican) lunch

NOTE 10 AM START
7mi, 450 ft of elevation gain

Since most of the bay area will be suffering high temps, lets head to Half Moon Bay for some relief (even if there is a slight chance of precipitation!). This lovely hike has port-a-potties at the start and at one spot along the coast. I captured the shot of the regal bird pictured above on this trail 2 years ago. There is no cover so hats & sunscreen are a good idea (and possibly an umbrella? keep an eye on the weather report)

The lot is rather small so carpooling is recommended. carpool
Please be aware that there are parking lots at the northern & southern ends of the trail. We will be meeting at the northern end.

route: Alltrails

After the hike, we can head into HMB for some Mexican food. I've not tried this place but the menu looks nice & they can accommodate us outside!

SpanishTown Mexican restaurant located at: 515 Church St, Half Moon Bay, CA 94019. We have reservations for 18 at 12:30.

PLEASE REMEMBER TO MULTIPLY YOUR BILL BY 1.3 (FOR TAX AND TIP) AND TRY TO BRING CASH.
