Wandering Wednesday - 6.5 Mile Bannister Park, River Walk to Clay Banks

Come join Wandering Wednesday this week at Bannister Park. We'll walk to Clay Banks and do a loop back to Bannister Park. Approx 6.5 mile flat walk. Come on out and meet our newest addition to the family, Ellie!

The weather is forecast to be mostly sunny and 58° by noon so lets get out to see that blue sky.

We will head down the bike path to the first dirt turn to the right. We'll follow the main path, maybe do an out & back to San Juan Rapids. We'll then continue past Bannister Pond throughout the wilderness area along the river to Sacramento Bar parking area. A restroom stop if needed. We'll cross the river at Jim's Bridge and head down river for a few miles to the Clay Banks before turning around and taking loop trails back to Banister Park.

Please Do Not be a no show. Update your RSVP if you cant make it and have to cancel. Give others on the wait list plenty of notice.

Here is a link from a previous hike we did in September. Very cool turn around spot!

Things to bring; plenty of water, comfortable shoes, appropriate clothes for the weather, a snack and an adventurist attitude. The ground may be slippery at the rapids so grippy shoes is suggested.

This hike will be about 2.5+ hours. We will be walking at a steady pace. (about 2.5 to 3 MPH).

We follow the "Leave no trace only footprints" policy.

We will meet at Banister Park parking lot. If the lot is full, there is some parking on the street but be aware and read the street signs.

Continued rain will cancel.
