Nisene Marks Vienna Woods Trail with Bangkok West

Come join me on this 5 mile 800 foot elevation gain hike in the lovely Forest of Nisene Marks. This allows us to try a new entrance which doesn't require entering the park. We will be parking in a residential neighborhood with plenty of parking but carpooling is still recommended. There is no bathroom at the trailhead although there is one after a mile or so. If you'd like to stop on your way there is one at 2950 Willowbrook Ln, Aptos, CA 95003 at Willowbrook County Park. This is very convenient for those coming over the hill, right on the way.

After our woodland adventure let's take a brief trip to Bangkok West at 2505 Cabrillo College Dr, Aptos, CA 95003 for some yummy Thai food ( I hope having never actually eaten there LOL!)

Route: Alltrails

The IOPQ will be: Is there a song that you purposely sing the wrong lyrics to & if so what is it?
