This hike is sponsored by the Orange County Sierra Singles section of the Sierra Club. The hike only runs in the summer, while daylight savings time is in effect. The group meets each Tuesday at 6:30 pm. The hike is oriented to beginners, and is easier than most. Essentially all Sierra Club hikes are open to the public.

At the peak of the season there are usually 40 or more people on the hike. The hike lasts about 1½ hours, and afterward about a dozen of us go to a local restaurant for a snack.

Although the hiking area is located in middle of the city, there are a few isolated trails in the region that give the impression of being far away. It is not quite the same, but for those who live in the area the convenience of the hike is appealing. There are three primary routes and several variations on each, providing some variety in the hikes.
You should bring some water, especially when the weather is hot. The hike is not strenuous, so a pint is usually enough. A small flashlight is recommended when the days grow short at the end of the season. Tennis shoes are adequate, but hiking boots are better.
