May GoHike Urban Walk: 3 to 5.5 miles, 300 to 1,250 feet gain - Discovery Park

This urban walk counts toward your monthly required GoHike course May trips. Join me for a beautiful urban walk in Discovery Park. This will be a loop through forested areas and along a bluff, then along the beach and past the lighthouse before going back into the woods. There are usually many bird sightings, every now and then I see a bald eagle!

This will be a friendly, social-paced, loop at Discovery Park. We will travel loosely as a group coming together when the trail splits. I hope everyone will enjoy taking pictures and enjoy our time on the trail. We’ll take regular breaks along the way with a stop to take in the views and have a snack near the water. I tend to keep a slower pace moving uphill and speed up a little more going down.  A good part of our elevation gain will be on stairs coming back up from the beach area and we'll be sure to let everyone take these steps at their own pace. 

Plan to arrive early to use the restrooms and gear up so we can circle up for an overview and introductions by 8:00 at the latest and on the trail shortly thereafter.

Goals: 

  • Have fun and enjoy each others company
  • Make meaningful connections

Expectations:

  • Arrive on-time, prepared and ready for the trip
  • Stay together as a group
  • Treat others w/ respect, compassion and understanding

Style:

  • While I am destination focused, I like to take in and appreciate the beauty in nature around us

8:00 am at the South Parking Lot (47.6554, -122.4102)
