What we’re about
New group description as of August 2019:
Formerly known as the "Capitola-Aptos Hiking" group, this group has expanded and now includes many activities in addition to hiking. While events will generally be located in the Santa Cruz and Monterey Bay areas, we'll go further afield for some activities. Hikes will vary from easy to more difficult (read the descriptions!) and be on the weekends with occasional mid-week or evening hikes. In addition to hiking, we'll have dinners, bowling, Giants games, winter skiing, etc. (the "& more"!)
I encourage members to message me with ideas. I am also looking for additional event hosts.
Upcoming events (1)
See all- HALF! 3-4 miles Santa Cruz Lighthouse to Lighthouse + optional dinner at GildasSanta Cruz Surfing Museum, Santa Cruz, CA
This event Is co-hosted with San Jose Midweek Hikers. Please sign up for only one. No need to sign up for both.
Come take a brisk walk along the ocean. We will start at the Santa Cruz Surfer Museum (it’s a lighthouse) and walk past the wharf, along the boardwalk, as if we were going to the Walton Lighthouse. BUT NO! I am still rehabing and am not ready for the whole trip. So we will turn at the HOT DOG ON A STICK stand and head back and out to the end of the pier. Some of us will have the Prime Rib special at Gildas before returning to our starting point at the Surfer Museum. Those who aren't participating in the dinner can walk directly back to the start. The walk without dinner should take about 2 hours.
Gilda's on the Wharf - Santa Cruz, CA
Parking:
Lots C & D are across the street from the museum and are a few minutes walk away. There is also another parking lot just past the museum on the right heading from downtown. Leave plenty of time to find parking. There is also parking at the Surfer Museum.
Bathrooms are located between Lots C & D
Carpooling: Recommended, as lots tends to fill up quickly.
