| Event Description |
Join us as we hike to Santa Paula Punch Bowls and take a dip if you'd like. There's a sweet 25ft waterfall there. It's 6 miles round trip with 850ft elevation gain, with a few river crossings. BBQ will be happening after, at David's house. For BBQ, grill is available if you want to bring meat, otherwise we will have plenty of fish tacos and authentic ceviche available Just bring a small side dish or drinks to share. When you sign up, in comments for this event, post what your bringing and I'll email you the address.
Carpooling works best for this hike. Meet at David's to carpool (drop-off anything for BBQ there) at 7:15AM, or we'll meet you at trailhead at 8AM.
MISSION: To have fun, get a workout, and see how many of us dare take a dip!
Our pace is med, not SLOW, but not in a rush! I'm rating it intermediate; though children have been seen making it to the bowls...because they know what's at the end...A natural swimming pool!
Bring: Water, Lug soles or trail runners, hat (little to NO shade there) maybe a small snack for yourself, to hold you til BBQ. If you're bringing a backpack, why not throw in a small towel and sandals, not necessary, but I will...
