Volmer peak VIA Seaview trail - 3 miles out and back
Description: We are repeating this walk from December, as it was so enjoyable to everyone in spite of the Dec. rains! This month we hope to see the wildflowers, as a result of those winter rains. Great views and great company! We will have several walk leaders to accompany walkers and accommodate various levels of distance and walking pace. There is always the option to turn around and have someone go with you. It is 1 1/2 miles to the first bench and a bit further to the next bench. Before we start out, we will discuss the options and plan accordingly.
Where to Meet: We will meet in the parking lot just beyond the Steam Trains off Lomas Cantadas Road, east of Grizzly Peak. There is an accessible toilet near there.
What to bring: Binoculars if you have them, good hiking shoes for the trails, layered clothing for variable weather, water, windbreaker, hat, snacks. Hiking poles are a good idea, if you have them. Bring your cell phone if you have one!
