Itinerary:

West Palisades is the dark sister to East Palisades - - but it shouldn't be!  It's a lovely CNRA unit with plenty of parking at this entrance and a nice bathroom facility.  Part of the trail is asphalt, but don't let that dissuade you.  It soon branches off into scenic woods and trails, often with beautiful views of the water.

We'll hike at a moderately brisk pace which will provide a nice workout without getting into the fitness category of events.  There is one long ascent, but after that, the hills are moderate. If you're in fair shape for hiking, it should be a perfect event for you.

There's a $3 parking fee at this location.  Be sure to have correct amount in cash to purchase a parking tag.
