Palo Corona Hike & Lunch – Sunday, July 27th
You’re Invited! After reading, please let us know that you are joining us by using this RSVP link. We need to let the hike leaders, and the restaurant, know who is coming. Plus, we’d hate to cancel for lack of interest, leaving you waiting at the flag pole. 🙂
Hike: 9:00–11:30 AM
Lunch: Approximately 11:30 AM–1:00 PM
Join us for a beautiful morning hike at Palo Corona Regional Park, followed by a relaxing lunch together!
📍 Meeting Point: Meet at the flagpole near the start of the hiking trails at 8:50 AM.
🥾 Hike Options:
- Hale & Hardy Hike: Head up to the Viewpoint and Animas Pond for stunning views and a moderate challenge.
- Leisurely Stroll: Mosey out to the Old Barn and back — an easygoing option with lovely scenery.
Both hikes take approximately the same amount of time.
🌐 Park Info: Palo Corona Regional Park
🍽️ Lunch Options (11:30 AM–1:00 PM):

- Bring your own lunch and relax at the picnic tables near the trailhead.
- Join us for a sit-down lunch at Baja Cantina, just a few miles up Carmel Valley Road.
