Meet at 10:00 at pullout for Gualala business directory north of bridge to carpool and/or at the end of Verdant View near Two Fish at 10:15. Hang tags needed for non Sea Ranchers. Walk on informal path west to Timber Ridge Road. Walk south on this road until the end of the road. This is a forested road with ups and downs so a hiking stick could be helpful but is not mandatory. When we reach the end, we will turn around and walk back stopping at the Posh Squash where there are picnic tables where we can eat our lunch and survey the vegetable gardens.

SALT POINT BLUFFS/SLEEPING LION

Photos contributed by Bob Rutemoeller, Mary Sue Ittner and Gary Beall

Carpool at the pullout for Gualala business directory at 9:30 and at The Sea Ranch Lodge parking lot at 9:45. Start at 10:00 at Salt Point State Park. There is a fee for parking so if anyone has a pass, please bring it. Hike past the Visitor’s Center and walk to the South Gerstle Cove Picnic Area. From here we will follow the bluff as closely as possible. The rock formations and views from the bluff are outstanding and at this time of the year there are often fireworks waves. The paths are rough and eroded in places and walking sticks and boots are recommended. Our leaders will point out a "sleeping lion" rock formation. We will turn around at some point and return to the picnic area for lunch.  Dogs are not allowed on the Salt Point trails.
