Please join us on Saturday, December 16th from 1 PM - 4 PM for a combination of hikes along the trails of Forrestal Reserve (https://www.rpvca.gov/1153/Forrestal-Reserve) and Ocean Trails Reserve in Rancho Palos Verdes (https://www.rpvca.gov/1154/Ocean-Trails-Reserve)
The hikes offer stunning scenic views and are good for beginning to moderate skill levels. The trails are along mixed dirt terrain and the ocean trail leads down to the rocky beach, so make sure to wear sturdy hiking boots or strong hiking sandals.
Parking: Free at both Ladera Linda Park (adjacent to Forrestal Reserve) for Hike One and at Founders Park (next to Trump Golf Course) for Hike Two. Also, there is plenty of free street parking adjacent to the lot along Trump National Drive between Palos Verdes Drive. Carpool if possible!
