Overview:

Join us for a scenic hike to enjoy the stunning colors of fall! This moderate hike will take us through beautiful trails surrounded by vibrant leaves, crisp air, and stunning landscapes. Perfect for nature lovers and photographers alike, it’s a wonderful way to embrace the season and connect with fellow outdoor enthusiasts. The town of Portola Valley is a runner’s and hiker’s paradise, with as many miles of trails as there are paved roads. The trails are interwoven throughout the town, connecting to residential streets! We will be meeting at 9.15 am and will start the hiking promptly at 9.30 am. See you soon 😉

Parking Lot:

Parking on the road is allowed but limited, and therefore carpooling is HIGHLY recommended. Please allow enough of time for parking.

Be Prepared:

Please bring:

  • A light windbreaker or jacket (it is often windy and cooler at the summit)
  • At least 1–1.5 liters of water
  • Comfortable walking or hiking shoes (sneakers should be perfectly suitable)
  • A light snack or fruit
  • Hat, sunscreen, and sunglasses
