STLRC – Upcoming Rides and Events

Starting Location: Parking lot closest to the trailhead by the miniature trains.
Meeting time:  9:15 am
Time of Departure:  9:30 am

Description:  Join us on a morning walk.  We will walk the natural Al Foster Trail to the paved Rock Hollow Trail to see the bluebells which is a flat walk and then slight uphill, hardly noticeable and back.  Since this is an in and out walk, you can go further or return sooner.  I plan on walking about 4-5 miles.

If you don’t walk on paved trails, you can still come and stay on the Al Foster.  There are bluebells along this trail but not as many as the Rock Hollow.

The easiest way to not get lost is to scroll down to the map below and click Google Map below the map.

The correct wording is “Al Foster Memorial Trailhead” if you are typing in the location yourself.

We are NOT meeting at Sherman Beach.

Experience Level: EASY Since this is a flat in and out hike, this hike is appropriate for all
levels of ability.
Stops: as needed–no restrooms along the trails.

Other: Toilets available at start of walk. You may want to wear hiking boots as there could be mud  on the Al Foster trail.

For those interested, there are many dining options in Eureka after the hike.
