Itinerary:

     I hope you'll join me as we explore the wonderful trails of East Palisades.  We'll be parking at the Indian Trail entrance and plan to hike 7 miles.  We'll go through the bamboo forest, hike  around the numerous trails  and perhaps take in an awesome cave. This is a beautiful hike and should be on everyone's  list of local hikes.
