Trip Report/Photos
We had a great group of 12 Hikers. We hiked along the creek. The mustard was in full bloom. Got to the MASH site and spent some time there. We had our lunch at Rock Pool and were treated to hunky men diving off the rocks. All in all a great day!

What a fantastic hike and lead, Menard. Topography was as diverse as I've ever seen in So Cal. Wide expanse with mustard plants reminiscent of Little House on Prairie. Then the MASH set ruins. Next a redwood forest creek walk (watch out for 3 leaf poison oak!). Leading to reservoir complete with youth flipping backwards off of cliffs 50 feet high. |
