Little Yosemite Hike - Saturday, March 14, 9:30 - 11:30am🚶
While our hikes are usually on Sundays, we're trying a Saturday this time to include families who can't make Sundays. We'll be hiking at Little Yosemite, a beautiful spot with scenic rock formations and peaceful, Yosemite-like feel right here locally.
Pro-tip: There is little to no reception in the park - please be sure you can find the destination in the absence of cell signal. If you use Google Maps on your mobile device, typing in "ok maps" will allow you to save a section of maps for offline viewing. Click on the below meeting location link, and "star" it.
Meeting location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/xjWSHs7KMx9c4W8g9
Meeting time: 9:30am
Difficulty: Easy (2 out of 5)
Distance: 2.2 miles
Elevation gain: 260 ft.
The hidden gem of Sunol. Little Yosemite is a fun walk for the entire family.
The trail is primarily a wide gravel fireroad
When we arrive at Little Yosemite there is a short tricky steep path down to the boulders along the creek - this section is optional but the kids usually love this little scramble to get to the creek.
Bikes and dogs are allowed, and strollers with large wheels would work reasonably well here.
We will assemble at 9:30 am at the gate at the end of Geary Road. This is the start of the trail.
The hike will proceed around 9:40am after going over the Outdoor Code and Leave No Trace (LNT) principles. We will aim to finish around 11:30am.
The group will stop about halfway to walk down to the creek. At the creeks we will discuss with the scouts different methods to filter and drink water in the wild.
There is intermittent shade, so please bring sun protection (hat, sunscreen, etc)
Also it can get cold in the canyon so bring warm layers
Class B uniforms (Pack t-shirt, Scout hat) for your scouts if they have them. Pack t-shirts for adults encouraged but optional.
Requirement: Scout and accompanying parent must have an Annual Health Medical Record (AHMR form) on file (forms A/B1/B2) in order to hike with us. If you have not filled one out, please bring the completed form with you to the hike and hand it to Tim Wong. This applies to all scouts, siblings, and friends if they plan to hike alongside our group.
Things to bring:
Water bottle with at least 0.5 liter of water per person
Trail snacks
Binoculars would be a nice to have
Hiking sticks optional
Scouts: Class B uniform (Scout hat, Pack t-shirt)
Parents: Pack T-shirt if you have one
Cub Scout 6 Essentials (water, snack, sun protection, first aid kit, etc)
Parking:
There are many parking lots to choose from.
