You are invited to join on a full moon hike this Saturday evening. We'll meet at 7:30pm at
Purisima Creek Redwoods in the mountains above San Mateo to hike, talk, and enjoy the light of the full moon on the mountains around us. "Purisima" means most pure; the early spanish believed this area to have a purifying effect and named the creek and associated canyon to honor the virgin mary. As for us, we will walk moon-shadowed by towering redwoods and enjoy occasional views of the coast and Half Moon Bay.
There will be a few miles of hiking and some elevation climbing so bring some good shoes and some warm clothes for our ridgeline restbreak. Feel free to bring like-minded others. Drinks will be provided at an appropriate half-way point. Please RSVP to let me know if you need or can offer a ride.Directions:
Take Highway 92 west from the San Mateo Bridge (if coming from the east bay) or from I280 (if coming from SF) to the Skyline Boulevard, highway 35 exist. Travel south on Skyline for 4.5 miles. Turn right into the parking lot at Purisma Creek Redwoods Preserve (if you get to the Redwood Trail turn off or Tunitas Creek Road junction you've gone too far).
