Itinerary:

Let's go explore East Palisades. We will hike a loop around the park, check out the great views, and walk through the bamboo forest.

The terrain at East Palisades is rooty and rocky, with some elevation changes. Our pace will be moderate, and we will hike about 4.25 miles.

Sadly, there are no bathrooms available on this hike, so plan accordingly. Please arrive about 10 minutes early for socializing and introductions because we will be starting on time.

This area, like all CRNRA units, requires a $5 daily parking fee unless you have an annual pass.

Water

Good hiking shoes
