You’re invited to forget yesterday’s over-indulgence and escape the madness of the busiest shopping day of the year. Join docents Keith Johnsgård and Steve Brugler on this annual “opt-out” hike at Los Trancos Open Space Preserve where you’ll experience serene silence and smog-free air in a world without concrete. You’ll walk a 3-mile double loop beneath the towering forest canopies of the Franciscan and Lost Creek Trails with a creek-side stop for lunch.
Level: Moderate hike, kid-friendly.
Where to meet:
Meet at the Los Trancos Preserve parking lot on Page Mill Road (across from Monte Bello Preserve), 7 miles west of I-280 or 1.5 miles east of Skyline Boulevard. Those traveling from I-280 on Page Mill Rd. should allow approximately 35 minutes travel time.
