We encourage you to participate in the wide variety of adventures offered inside Outdoor Activities. The outing durations listed are averages based on our experience. However, always allow extra time in your schedule for unusual circumstances or the slower pace of some groups. You can help by arriving a little early to insure a prompt start. The activities are free, though some require reservations.
Heavy rain cancels the hike.
If there is light rain or the threat of rain, go to the meeting place. All hikes are led by docents who have completed a District training program. These docents volunteer their time to share their knowledge of nature with you. Wear sturdy walking shoes or hiking boots appropriate for rugged trails. The weather in the Santa Cruz Mountains can be unpredictable.
