We will meet at a designated trailhead at the park at 11:00 am and hike the woods and batteries, followed by an exploration of the beach and lighthouse. The trip will end with an optional visit to the park's museum/aquarium.
Priority for this hike will be given to those staying overnight at the Fort Flagler Urban Adventure. This hike is filled with history but also natural beauty!
The Aquarium and Museum are open noon until 5:00pm so we will try to finish our hiking in time to allow for a visit to both. Admission is $7 adults and $5 kids for both facilities. https://ptmsc.org/left-menu/visit-us
