CRISPIN LANE

 

Meet at 9:20 at the Gualala Super parking lot, close to the back side of the old hotel at 9:30 or at Anchor Bay (West side of Hwy 1) to carpool. We will drive to Crispin Lane in Manchester, parking at the Manchester Community Center/Garcia Guild (formerly the Grange, or perhaps it is the Grange again!) and walk to the end of this county road. Hike starts at 10:00 a.m. We will pass green fields and have lovely views of the ocean on our way back. This road starts out relatively flat and then goes slowly up so we'll coast on the return trip. Afterwards we will have lunch outside at the Manchester Community Center. NOTE: There are often loose dogs on Crispin Lane so you may not want to bring your dog.

POINT ARENA LIGHTHOUSE ROAD HIKE

Optional diversion depending on the weather and the conditions is to walk south at the bend in the road on the spectacular bluff, turning around at some point, before walking back to the road and to the cars.
