    LA – GeoTours Morocco

    Great Outdoors LA invites you to Morocco from Nov. 22 to Dec. 2, 2024. This trip is being organized and sponsored though GeoTours, which is an LGBTQ-friendly company that organizes regular tours to places all over the world at very reasonable prices compared to other tour companies. Although not sponsored by Great Outdoors, this is an exclusive GOLA invitation that will be led by our long-time GO member and hike leader Joe Holliday, along with GeoTours. Click here for the trip itinerary and details: https://www.geotours.us/tour/morocco-2024/. Registration closes May 1, 2024.

    Why Morrocco? Although it's a favorite destination for Europeans, many Americans feel unsafe traveling in Arab countries. However, Morocco is considered one of the safest Arab countries in which LGBTQ groups can travel, and it has some of the best scenery and tourism of any region in northern Africa. Therefore, we are inviting this group of travelers to a wonderful place where they may not feel comfortable going individually but can have an “opportunity to learn about life in a different country through immersion into the culture. Seeing something from the outside versus experiencing it from the inside provides two completely different insights into a way of life.” -- Gay Travel in Morocco: An Overview (journeybeyondtravel.com).


    Personal Considerations: While several LGBTQ groups visit Morocco every year with no problems, all participants will need to understand and acknowledge the following cultural note to ensure the group's safety:

    It’s important to note that in Morocco homosexual acts are illegal and punishable by prison. Even though this is not always enforced, it’s smart to use street sense and avoid public displays of affection, as this is culturally frowned upon for both opposite and same-sex couples. As in any country, we ask our travelers to respect local customs (hats off in mosques, no kissing in public, etc) and most people will not be hostile. Transgender travelers should be especially aware of potentially abusive behavior, particularly to transgender women, due a lack of education in the country and conservative Muslim values. Please review and consider the additional information provided prior to deciding whether to participate or not:

    · LGBTQ+ Travel Safety Index: 203 Countries Ranked in 2023 (asherfergusson.com)

    We plan to donate to local LGBTQ groups in Morocco to help the country's progress toward more equality.

    This is the first of what we hope will be several trips around the world (Iceland, New Zealand, Peru, etc.).

    Laguna Beach's

     'La Tour'

    Saturday, November 23

    Start time: 9:00 A.M.

    Meeting Place: Laguna Beach

    Details: Easy – 1.1 mile roundtrip – 150 ft gain/loss – Very Short but STEEP grade

    Trail Head: Meeting at the Intersection of Victoria Drive & Nyes Place in Laguna Beach.  Street Address:  223 Nyes Place, Laguna Beach, CA.

    One of the most unique and mysterious landmarks of Southern California is the tower that stands at the base of a cliff in Laguna Beach.

    The structure, known as “La Tour” (French for Tower) is a 60-foot castle-inspired tower.  Its as built at the same time as the house at the top of the bluff, in 1926, and was used as a way to get from the house down to the beach below, which is a beautiful stretch of sand called Victoria Beach.  The beach tower is made of poured concrete with an ocean stone foundation and cone-shaped roof made of shingles.  Several narrow window openings in the tower wall allow light to pass through to the wooden spiral stairway inside.

    Sometimes also referred to as the ‘Pirate’s Tower’ by locals, and as the "Sandcastle" by yours truly, this iconic landmark will have you believing in fairy tales of long ago.

    Not only will we go to the "La Tour", but our journey includes going to the beach (how fun!) and traversing through some tide pools.

    The view from the beach is breathtaking and you will believe in the ‘magic’ that this world does possess!

    DOGS ARE WELCOMED - must be leashed for Ruby's Diner - we will eat on the rooftop patio (bring a jacket - ocean breeze can be very cool!)

    Afterwards, we will head to Ruby's Diner for 'brunch'!  Yummy!

    Ruby's is less than 1/2 mile from where we are parked for the hike, but we will drive to the diner after our hike.  You do not want to walk along Pacific Coast Highway! Click here for map showing Ruby's Diner.

                 

    Getting to the Trailhead/Meeting Point:

     There are several ways to get to the meeting point.  This is a generic direction (avoiding toll roads) and is NOT applicable if you are originating your trip along/near PCH.

    From the 405 Freeway Southbound or 5 Freeway Southbound: Exit CA-133 S to Laguna Beach.  At the T-intersection when you hit the beach turn left (south bound) onto PCH.  Go approximately 2.1 miles to Nyes Place.  Turn left on to Nyes Place, then start looking for parking.  My recommendation is to continue up Nyes Place until you find a parking (street) spot. This is free street parking; since we are arriving early there should be plenty of parking available.

    From the 5 Freeway Northbound. Exit Crown Valley Parkway to PCH. At PCH, turn right on to PCH (you are heading North).  Go approximately 6.5 miles and turn right on to Nyes Place and start looking for parking.  My recommendation is to continue up Nyes Place until you find a parking (street) spot. This is free street parking; since we are arriving early there should be plenty of parking available.

    We will met at the corner of Nyes Place and Victoria Drive.  If using your GPS the house at this meeting point is 223 Nyes Place - do NOT disturb the tenants.  This address is simply a reference point for your GPS.

    My recommendation:  Simply put in 223 Nyes Place, Laguna Beach in your cell phone or car maps/GPS and follow the directions. Click here for map. 

    We will depart the meeting point at 9 AM.

    Important Note:  We will access the stairs going down to the beach, and climb up the drive way on our way out (or you can take the stairs back up - your choice)

     There is NO FEE for this trip.  However, if you decide to attend 'Brunch' (which we hope you do!) then of course you pay for your meal. 

    Contact:  If you have any questions about this event, please contact the trip leader noted above.


    Additional notes:

    1.  The 'hike' to the beach is on a paved city street.  Recommend sneakers.

    2.  Due to the special nature of this 'hike', the ten essentials are not necessary.  You may consider bringing a water bottle.

    3.  There is the possibility of your shoes getting wet if a wave catches you.

    4.  We will be on the beach; walking in sand is to be expected.

    5.  There is a steep slope to the beach; hand rails are provided.

    6.  West Street Beach (Gay Beach) is just further down the road from Ruby's for those you are so inclined to extend their Sunday Funday!

    7.  Dogs are allowed on the beach; so bring your furry friend!  And they are welcomed at Ruby's Rooftop Outdoor Patio!

    This will be a spectacular walk along in a riparian area forested with sycamore trees in full autumn bloom of orange and yellow leaves. For fall color this is the best in the Santa Monica Mountains and the timing is perfect. Hiking in the autumn with bright clear skies, cool weather, and the changing leaves is wonderful. This is a relatively unknown path and we will probably see few if any other hikers. I am anxious to share it all with you.

    • Dos Picos County Park Trip Notes

      Dos Picos County Park is located in Ramona, California. Its name is Spanish for "two peaks," derived from the two prominent mountains nearby. The surrounding ranch land and steep rocky slopes help preserve its secluded atmosphere.

      This park is known for its magnificent Oak trees.  The landscape is a mixture of chaparral, open grassland, and oak woodland. Coyote, fox, possum, skunk, and raccoon are all seen in the park regularly.

      The city of Ramona is minutes away when driving.  You may purchase food and other supplies there.

      Maximum RV length is 40 feet.  All sites have E/W. Several sites will be dedicated as tent sites.  These sites can have three tents, max and two cars.  The water spigots at these sites are unique.  It is housed in a plastic box that sits below ground level.  

      Tent campers, all the sites are gravel.   Your tent will likely be pitched on gravel.  Please bring blow-up mattresses or cots to sleep on, so you are not sleeping on gravel.  Tents should also bring extension cords. 

      At each site there is room for an RV and tow vehicle, or two vehicles.  Extra vehicles can park in the overflow lot for a total of $9, which is paid by GOPS.  The overflow parking lot is NOT close.  It’s located on the opposite side of the campground from our sites, so car camping would NOT be a good choice, please bring a tent.

      Leashed dogs are welcome at $1/night/dog.  Campers will pay for their own dogs upon check-in at the campground. 

      Sites 63 & 69 are ADA sites.  If you have an ADA placard, please let the trip leader know.   

      We will have access to the indoor pavilion and its outdoor picnic area.  It is located in the middle of all our sites.  There is a massive fire pit. The use of that pavilion and its outdoor space was an additional cost that was figured into the cost of this campout.  Typical weather in this area in November is high 73, low 42.

      Cancellation policy: cancel for full refund minus a $10 fees on or before Nov 10th, 2024.

    Sitton Peak Day Hike!


    Thanksgiving Friday!!

     November 29, 2023 - 9:30 AM

    Via Bear Ridge Trail and Bear Canyon Trail


    Meeting Place: Trailhead near the Candy Store.

    Details: Moderate+ – 10.0 miles – 2100 ft gain/loss – 

     In Orange County there are so many awesome hiking options that are often overlooked. The Bear Canyon and Bear Ridge Trails (we will take one trail to the peak and return via the other trail) to Sitton Peak Trail in the San Mateo Wilderness is one of those.

    Sitton tops out at 3,273 feet and it is a 5 mile hike to the summit from the Bear Canyon Wilderness Trailhead. We will meet in the parking lot across the street from the Ortega Oaks Candy Store (which has amazing post hike sandwiches by the way).  You will need an Adventure Pass National Park Pass displayed on your vehicle.


    Pictured above:  While there are trails labeled 'Bear'; be aware of the dinosaurs as Rob can testify!!!

    You will see beautiful views of the seldom visited San Mateo Wilderness.

    From here it's a scramble up the side of the mountain to get to the peak. It can be overgrown so some mild bushwhacking may be in order, but that's all part of the fun! At the top you'll be rewarded with a full 360 degree view of the Cleveland National Forest and on a clear day out to the ocean toward Catalina. 

    This is the 10 mile out-and-back hike with a mini-loop via the Bear Canyon Trail and the Bear Ridge Trail.

    Getting to the Trailhead:

    The trail head is off the Ortega Highway (74):

    Parking is in the lot on the other side of the highway from the Candy Store (Yes, there really is a candy store on the Ortego Highway, out in the middle of the wilderness.) 

    From Lake Elsinore Center, the parking lot is

    13.8 miles on the right side of the road.

    From San Juan Capistrano, it is 19.7 miles.

    Click here for a map.


    We will be meeting for lunch (optional) after the hike, in the Outlets in San Clemente.

    " The first time I went to Sitton Peak, I was on a solo hike.  Awesome trail, and for the most part I only saw 4 other hikers during my trek and this was on a Sunday!  The trail has rolling hills, but it is the last 1/4 mile that upgrades this hike to a moderate +.  It is a minor workout getting to the top, but well worth the effort with spectacular views!"

You must be in good physical condition and able to complete a 2,000ft elevation gain in three miles for nearly 8 miles round trip; there are significant altitude gains going both ways on this trail. This hike is geared for those new to Murray Hill...it is a challenging hike for sure but not as intimidating as it looks from the bottom...the pace will be slower to help make sure we stay as a group, keeping in mind we need to be back to the starting point by the time stated! Starting at the Frank Bogert Trailhead off of Andreas Hills Rd the route will follow Bogert Trail up the valley to the Wild-Horse Trail, connecting with the Clara Burgess Trail then hilltop spur to the top of for snacks/lunch, ooohs & ahhhhs, and pictures. We will return back the same route as we came.

When you cross Redford Dr, Bogert Trail Rd will curve left up a steep incline and joins with Andreas Hills Rd. At the top of that incline you will see the Bogert Trailhead parking lot, turn right into the lot. If full, park along the north side of the road and walk up to the trail start. (MAP)

    Useful information: Cowles Mtn is a very popular trail with many hikers. Take caution around children and parents with babies. Allow joggers to pass. Tell people in front when you wish to pass and feel free to say Hi/Good afternoon. Hikers are very friendly here. There are rattlesnakes and the bees in the summer can be aggressive.

Additionally, the banks on either side of the trail are very slippery. Most of all, keep a good pace and you will have a lot of fun.

    Map of hike: This is the path we will take. Return through Barker Way Trail due to Cowles Service Road being extremely slippery on the return.

  • PS - HIKE LOWER CARRIZO CANYON

    • Tue, December 24, 2024
    • 9:00 AM
    • Carrizo Canyon

    Christmas Eve Hike

    Carrizo Canyon is one of the group of canyons which are open for only the last three months of each year. This  hike begins at the Art Smith parking lot and gradually climbs south through soft sand in a wide wash with evidence of a history of mining, exploration and recreational use over many decades. The wash narrows as we enter the canyon where we are amazed at the stunning folding and layering of metamorphic rock in the canyon walls. As the canyon narrows, the trail gets a bit rockier and poles can be handy for maintaining one’s balance. We will carefully scramble over a few granite boulders. After a visit to a dry waterfall, we will take a side trail up Indian Canyon and up a 5 foot rock ladder to an overlook from which you can see back to Palm Desert and up Carrizo Canyon to a stand of California palms at an oasis hidden above the dry fall. We retrace our steps to return to the parking lot.

    Spend 4 nights and 3 days exploring Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument located in the heart of the Sonoran Desert.  We will be camping at the main campground at Twin Peaks Campground surrounded by organ pipe cacti and lush desert plants located 1.5 miles from the Kris Eggle Visitor Center.  Restrooms have running water and some have solar-heated showers. Hookups for electricity, water, or sewer are not available.  A dump station, with potable water is located past the last row of campsites.


    Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument was set aside on April 3rd, 1937 for future generations as an exemplar of the Sonoran Desert. This natural area is home to an abundance of life: quirky cacti, talkative birds, whispering springs with desert fish, and so much more! The life found in the Sonoran Desert has adapted to this land of extremes in a multitude of ways, each playing a role in this magical landscape. Explore the desert wilderness hiking through hidden washes, adventuring off on a scenic drive, or just relaxing at the monument's campgrounds. 

    Directions:  The Twin Peaks Campground is located 1.5 miles from the Kris Eggle Visitor Center and Highway 85. Continue past the visitor center and almost immediately turn left at the sign that says "Twin Peaks Campground." Follow that road for 1.5 miles until you reach the campground kiosk.

    Generator Hours:  Quiet Hours are from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. Generator hours are from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., and from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.

    Stargazing and camping after the New Year?

    Cottonwood Campground at Joshua Tree National Park is one of the best places for stargazing and camping after the holidays, or for that matter year-round.  Located in the southern section of the park away from light polluting towns or cities, Cottonwood Campground offers dark, uninterrupted views of the night sky that draw astronomers and constellation admirers alike. 

    Set in Colorado Desert landscape, Cottonwood campground overlooks flat, open desert shrub land, which offers a contrast to the Mojave Desert landscape featuring the Joshua trees of the park’s namesake, predominant in the northern area of the park.  Nearby is Cottonwood Springs Oasis, created from geologic activity, offering a verdant island of palm and cottonwood trees encircled by an ocean of desert landscape.  Cottonwood Springs’ Oasis is also the trailhead for nearby hiking trails.

      An 10 Day Cruise Journey Through Northern Europe!


      Great Outdoors OCLB

      is organizing a  journey through Northern Europe with Norwegian Cruise Line beginning May 22 through June 1, 2025.  Beginning in Reykjavik, Iceland and concluding in South Hampton London.

      Of course you may want to arrive early to experience Reykjavik, Iceland and/or extend your stay in London which will of course be the responsibility of each member.

      Please note this is NOT a gay cruise (i.e. Atlantis, RSVP, Bearcruise), but a group of Great Outdoor members who are interested in traveling together to explore some of the world's most iconic sites.  We are joining a normally scheduled Norwegian Cruise on their latest and most innovative ship, the Norwegian Prima.


      Here is the link to learn the details and pricing of the cruise:
