Come out for a post Christmas hike with Rebecca and Alisa!
We will hike Castle Rock State Park. This is a lovely wooded area if you have never been before with moss covered trees and rocks. There are some steep parts, but they can be easily managed if you are not a hiker. Bring layered clothing, lots of water and snack foods. After the hike we will go to lunch in Saratoga Village at a sandwich shop called Blue Rock Shoot.
When: Wednesday, December 26th, 9:30 AM
Where: Meet at the KOHL's parking lot off of Hamilton Ave in San Jose. (Hamilton and 880)
From there we will carpool to Castle Rock and should be there about 10:15 AM
Note: there is a 70% chance of rain tomorrow but we will not let it deter us from getting out and enjoying some exercise. Castle Rock is mostly covered by trees, but please bring a rain jacket just in case.
Questions: Contact Alisa at 408-841-1992 or alisadietz@yahoo.com
