*** Mercury News had BIG report on this last year ***
Just in case anyone was wondering: the Hangover Hike is ON, regardless of the weather! One year, we had nearly horizontal rain and sleet, and went hiking anyway. Admittedly, there were only two of us on the hike that year, and we spent most of the time staying off ridges and trying to find trails that weren't flooded, but the hike went on!
Just think of it as an opportunity to test your rain gear....

Once again we brave the elements atop the local hills to prove our mettle, or just work off our overindulgences, on the first day of the year. We'll start from Skyline Ridge Open Space Preserve and venture into Russian Ridge, Monte Bello, and/or Long Ridge. If the weather's nice, we can go to the top of Borel Hill to see what the Bay Area looks like in the new year. We'll probably cover about 7-8 miles, returning to the carpool point around midday. Dress for the weather (rain does _not_ cancel), and bring water and trail munchies. Meet at carpool point #6.
Leader: Eric Wilner, 408/744-1845, eric@gumbyware.com
Directions to LPSS carpool point #6 (Page Mill / 280 Park 'N Ride): Exit 280 onto Page Mill Road west (Los Altos Hills) in Palo Alto. The lot is next to the freeway. If looking for overflow parking, beware of the "No Parking" signs along Arastradero.
Have fun! LilyPrivate Reply to Lily Tan (new win) |
