“Fresh Start” New Year’s Day Hike | Palo Alto

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Join the annual “Fresh Start” hike as an alternative New Year’s Day experience within the silence and smog-free air of the deep forest.

Docents Keith Johnsgård, Grace Yuan, and Johnny Zweig will lead this 3-mile loop on the Franciscan and Lost Creek Trails. Weather permitting, you’ll stop at the low halfway point for creek side snacks, and you’ll pass by the reclusive trailside Buddha on your ascending return trip.

Where to meet:
Meet at the Los Trancos Preserve parking lot on Page Mill Road (across from Monte Bello Preserve), 7 miles west of I-280 or 1.5 miles east of Skyline Boulevard. Those traveling from I-280 on Page Mill Rd. should allow approximately 35 minutes travel time.

Bring along some water and snacks.
