4.2 miles - Easy Effort

1:45 Hours (Total)

470 Total Feet of Climbing

Whiting Ranch Wilderness Park encompasses approximately 2,500 acres of riparian and oak woodland canyons, rolling grassland hills and steep slopes of coastal sage scrub and chaparral. The park is highlighted by scenic rock formations, including the beautiful Red Rock Canyon. There are three intermittent streams: Borrego, Serrano and Aliso Creek meandering through the park, each hosting an abundance of wildlife. Remnants of the former cattle ranching days can be seen throughout the park.

Note: Making our way through the trail which is very easy, but watch out for poison oak!

The park is highlighted by scenic rock formations, including the beautiful Red Rock Canyon, our destination.

Note: Studly (or is it motley?) crew who are ready to tangle!

Our hike will go up Borrego Canyon, through old growth forest. At 2 miles out, we will arrive at Red Rock Canyon. The last portion of trail into the Red Rocks is sandy and rocky so boots or sturdy walking shoes are recommended. We will spend time there to enjoy the sights and a snack.

Note: Nothing like having a bud on the trail for safety! Robert R and Robert O.

DIRECTIONS: Just south of the El Toro Y (where the 5 and 405 meet) take Bake Parkway East. After about 5 miles, turn left on Portola Parkway. The park entrance and parking is just past the Ralphs shopping center on the right. (26741 Portola Parkway, Foothill Ranch, CA 92610).

Parking Fee: $3 daily. Machine accepts $1 bills and quarters or Visa/Master Card and OC Parks Annual Pass
.

Note: Monkeying around is allowed on the trail as long as it is done safely! Doug, Robert R. and Rob O.

The lot tends to fill up, so it is best to get there early.

Best to Carpool!

You don't hear it from me, but you may consider parking in the nearby shopping center.

WHAT TO BRING: Sturdy walking shoes, boots, or trail runners, at least 1 quart water, sunscreen, a hat, windbreaker/sweater, cameras, binoculars, snacks, and money for parking and lunch (optional).

Also, click here and bring the ten essentials. Unfortunately dogs are NOT allowed. This event is free for members and guests.

Trip Leader:

Lance Whitmier Email: President-OCLB@greatoutdoors.org

Note: Lance, Robert R, Doug and Rob O.

Lance states: "One of my first hikes with the Great Outdoors! Easy trail with a variety of landscapes to view. If you want to experience a tiny bit of 'wilderness' and not have to go to the mountains, this is your opportunity! And it is an easy hike!"

And yes there are mountain lion warnings since there are an abundance of mule deer in the vicinity. Unfortunately no dogs are allowed per the park rules.

Our book club has been meeting for over a year and a half now, creating a warm, welcoming space to explore queer literature and foster meaningful connections. As we kick off January 2025, we’re excited to invite new members to join us in celebrating stories that reflect our diverse experiences and histories.

For January we will dive into Andrew Holleran’s Dancer from the Dance!

We’ll discuss the book, enjoy snacks and drink, and vote on next month’s selection. Whether you’ve read the book or just want to join the conversation, all are welcome for an afternoon of community and thoughtful discussion. Don’t miss this chance to connect and share insights with fellow book lovers!
January’s Book Club meets Saturday, January 25, 2:00-4:00 PM

If you'd like to get a start on February's book, we will be reading The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde. Feel free to bring suggestions for future meetings.

Cottonwood Springs’ Oasis is also the trailhead for nearby hiking trails.

Join us on Sunday, 2/9 at 1:05 PM (We will start when everyone is ready 15 min) for a hike! A bathroom is provided at the start of the trail. There is no water. Cowles and Pyles Pk can be strenuous for new hikers. Embark with us on a 7.12 mile hike along the mountain inspired by nature's creatures at Cowles Mtn & Pyles Pk.

Note: The Pyles Peak section of this hike is an optional add on based on group consensus.

This is a great but challenging hike with magnificent views along the way. Find your inner self and enjoy seeing mini dust tornadoes and other exotic phenomenon before heading back with dusty shoes and inspiration in tow!

This is a moderately challenging 7.12 mile out-and-back along Cowles Mtn and Pyles Pk in the San Carlos area with continuous views and 2,389 feet in elevation change. It is open to members or non-members.

Note: (Please park on the left side of the road away from the houses)

Meeting Date & Time: Sunday, 2/9 at 1:05 PM - We will plan to start when everyone is ready (15mins after start time at latest).

Parking: Street parking near the chain link fence

Cost: None

Time Commitment: Plan for approx 3 hours. However, we will turn back before Pyles Pk if the time to complete the loop exceeds 3 hours which it shouldn’t.

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. Bring with you some form of eye protection, water, and some kind of jacket during the colder months and sunscreen during the hot months. 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.

Dogs: Though dogs are permitted, signs on trail advise that you do not bring animals on this trail. In addition, rattlesnakes can be found on this trail. Read the warning signs carefully and please use your best judgment.

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.

Note: The final portion of Pyles Pk can be extremely slippery on the return. Please be careful.

An

Urban Walk/Ride in Downtown Los Angeles

Contact: Frederick Brown E-mail: fredincal346@gmail.com Phone: 562-754-1838

This event will be led by Frederick Brown who is a trained volunteer Los Angeles Metro Arts Council Docent. If you are on the waitlist or not registered, please do not attend.

The estimated time for this outing is two to four hours, depending on how much time participants spend at each of the sites.

Wear comfortable walking shoes and clothing, and bring a liter of water.

We will meet up at the Little Tokyo Station at the corner of Central Avenue and 1^stStreet in Los Angeles at 10 AM. Click here for map. For those who are driving, parking lots are nearby which you can find on Google Maps. For those taking Metro, you can board the A line as far east as Azusa Pacific University Station, and as far South as downtown Long Beach. You may also board the E Line as far west as Santa Monica and as far east as Atlantic Avenue in East Los Angeles.

For those who would like to ride the A line for the Willow Station in Long Beach, meet the trip leader Frederick at the entrance to the station at 8:35 AM.

All those going on the tour must have a valid TAP card to enter the station. If someone does not have a TAP card, they can be purchased at the station for $2.00 plus fare. Because we will be getting on and off trains, a Day Pass probably makes the most sense.

We will begin our tour at the street level with Harmony by Clare Rojas. The art is sandwiched between panes of glass and celebrates the interaction of nature and urban life.

Down on the platform, Audrey W Chan’s work it titled Will Power Allegory, which shows how marginalized people in Los Angeles who have been displaced. The 168 foot long panels are porcelain enamel on steel. The top part of the work shows people who live in the area, and the bottom part shows a parade of smaller people.

Next we will travel to Historic Broadway Station. On the platform level, we will photographer Clarence Williams work titled Migrations. This piece shows people who have moved to Los Angeles for various reasons, such as escaping from Hurricane Katrina and Armenia. Each photograph is accompanied by a Haiku.

Moving upstairs to the Mezzanine, we find Mark Steven Greenfield’s Red Car Requiem, a spectacular glass mosaic which stretches 148 feet. The work took 6 years to paint and then fabricate.

Moving up through the station, we will come to Ralph Gilbert’s series of light panels which are titled Performance on the Streets of L.A. The light panels are a movable work that stay in one location for 6 months to a year, and then are moved to another location on the Metro Rails System.

Moving to the street level we will see Andrea Bowers’ double sided text work on glass. The title of the work is: “The People United (‘El pueblo unido jamás será vencido,’ Sergio Ortega and Quilapayun; ‘Brown Beret 13 Point Political Program,’ La Causa).” The idea for the work came from its location near the old Los Angeles Times building, City Hall and the court houses.

When the group has finished with the Historic Broadway Station, we will travel to the Grand Avenue Arts Station. On the platform and on the concourse, we will be able to see Mungo Thomson’s Negative Space, which he created using 7,398 pictures of the Andromeda Galaxy from the Hubble Telescope.

Also, on the concourse level is another set of light boxes done by Samira Yamin which is titled All is Flux. The pictures show water flowing over still water.

As we round the corner of the concourse toward the elevators, we are confronted by Pearl C. Hsiung’s monumental “High Prismatic,” a glass mosaic artwork that soars 61 feet to the top of the elevator well with more than 1 million mosaic tiles. (This is the deepest station in the Metro system.)

Taking the elevators to street level Ann Hamilton’s Over and Under work shows through the 2 story glass entry pavilion. The hand drawn lines look like a fabric, or are representative of the grid that makes up an urban center.

After finishing at the Grand Arts Avenue station, people are free to return home or stay for a lunch at the food court at the Marketplace, 300 South Grand Avenue, Los Angeles.

Integratron Sound Bath, Giant Rock and Orchids

This outing has three parts: A sound bath at the Integratron and lunch, a visit to the Giant Rock and a tour of Gubler Orchids. Part 2 & 3 are optional.

Part One - The Integratron Sound Bath and Lunch

Get ready for a unique experience at one of Southern California’s most popular attractions. The 1959 Integratron is a structure designed and erected by ufologist and contactee George Van Tassel. Tassel claimed the Integratron was capable of rejuvenation, anti-gravity and time travel. He built the structure in Landers, California, supposedly following instructions provided by visitors from the planet Venus. Although Van Tassel has been gone for quite a while now, his UFO legacy lives on in his machine and takes the form of sound baths. We will experience one together for deep relaxation, rejuvenation, and introspection.

Great Outdoors Palm Springs has secured an exclusive private group, discounted rate for the Integratron's Sound Bath.

The 60-minute sonic-healing session consists of:

a brief introduction to the Integratron and its history and sound qualities,

30 minutes of quartz crystal bowls played live, and

the balance of the hour to integrate the sound and relax in the sound chamber to ambient music.

Each person will be lying comfortably on a mat in the deeply resonant, multi-wave sound chamber on the second floor of the Integratron while a licensed technician plays a sequence of quartz crystal singing bowls. Each bowl is tuned to a specific frequency and is keyed to the energy centers or chakras of the body where sound is nutrition for the nervous system. The results vary for each person and have been described variously as waves of peace, heightened awareness, and relaxation of the mind and body.

A couple of restrictions: No pets, No recordings during the sound bath

Lunch follows the sound bath on the Integratron grounds.  Please bring your own lunch and make yourself comfortable on the property's chairs, couches and hammocks. Refreshments are available in the gift shop.

Part Two - Giant Rock

After lunch, we'll take an optional 3-mile drive to Giant Rock on unpaved bumpy dirt road surfaces. This 7-story 25,000-ton boulder is the largest free-standing boulder in North America and purported to be the largest in the world. Local Native Americans consider it to be sacred. In the 1930s, a loner named Frank Critzer, inspired by desert tortoises that dig holes in which to cool themselves, dug out a home underneath the rock using dynamite. Critzer perished in a self-detonated dynamite explosion in his underground rooms on July 24, 1942, while being investigated by local police. Van Tassel lived there as well and took control of the landing strip next to it, still visible today. Considerable graffiti covers the rock, but the setting is still impressive. For more information click here

Part Three - Gubler Orchids

About 3 miles back, we'll visit Gubler Orchids' acres of orchid growing greenhouses with a vast array of orchid varieties and carnivorous plants. Great Outdoors has arranged for a tour of the greenhouses where you will learn about orchid varieties, growing techniques, and pick out orchids to purchase from the greenhouses or the showroom.  Please bring $5 cash per person for the orchid's tour.

Come and experience the Salton Sea for yourself, and discover why it is one of the most extraordinary and fascinating places in California. It is a unique place with many hidden treasures and secrets that are not well known. It has been forgotten as a busy tourist attraction of bygone years. Today, we have an amazing place to visit and explore. The sunsets and sunrises are stunning and peaceful. You should take the opportunity to experience it before its receding water levels cause it to change and vanish.

One of the world's largest inland seas and lowest spots on earth at -227 below sea level, Salton Sea was re-created in 1905 when high spring flooding on the Colorado River crashed the canal gates leading into the developing Imperial Valley. For the next 18 months the entire volume of the Colorado River rushed downward into the Salton Trough. By the time engineers were finally able to stop the breaching water in 1907, the Salton Sea had been born at 45 miles long and 20 miles wide – equaling about 130 miles of shoreline. Salton Sea State Recreation Area covers 14 miles of the northeastern shore. Campers, birdwatchers, photographers and hikers can enjoy the site's many recreation opportunities. View the Salton Sea Recreation Area Brochure here.

We will be camping at the Mecca Beach campground at the Salton Sea Recreation Area (SRA). The meet and greet, potluck and other activities will take place there. March is an ideal time to visit with mild temperatures. Mecca Beach Campground is remote. The markets and activities are a 20+ minute drive from the campground. This campground is 50 yards from the water. In recent years, most life in the Salton Sea has perished, so there is no more massive fish die-offs, which means there is no longer that potent scent. In fact there is typically no smell coming from the sea at all. The sea itself is awe-inspiring. You should not swim in the water at Salton Sea, nor should you allow your dogs to drink the water. It is heavily polluted with fertilizer chemicals from farm run-off.

Activities could include hiking a slot canyon in the Mecca Hills, a 4x4 excursion, or an easy hike to the Visitor Center to view exhibits and a video on the Salton Sea. Other activities could be a road trip to Niland area sites, including Salvation Mountain and East Jesus in Slab City, Obsidian Butte, the mud pot volcanoes, and the Salton Sea Reclamation Project. Check the whiteboard for updated activities info.

NOTE: This event is limited to GO members. When you register, you'll need to have your credit card ready and pay your registration fee within 15 mins. If you are not a member yet, you can first join as a member online (click here) and then return here to register.

Great Outdoors - San Diego

Agua Caliente County Park

March 13-16, 2025 - 3 Nights!

Overview

You're invited to join Great Outdoors San Diego (GOSD) for what's become our annual visit to Agua Caliente County Park to check out the wildflowers, which typically bloom there in early to mid-spring. Between the wildflowers, the amazing Agua Caliente campground (with showers and hot spring-fed pools), our not-to-be-missed nighttime search for scorpions by black light, the always-amazing Saturday night potluck, and a great group of campers, you won't want to miss this trip! If you are new to Great Outdoors, new to camping or maybe haven’t camped in a while, this is an excellent “starter” camping trip, given the excellent campground facilities and relative close proximity to urban San Diego.

Our Campground

Agua Caliente County Park is a 910 acre park with geothermally heated springs. The park is located just west of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park in eastern San Diego County.

Amenities at Agua Caliente include the soothing geothermal pools, coin-operated pay showers (50 cents in quarters per 4 minutes), flush toilets, potable water, shuffleboard and horseshoes, and a sun deck outside the pools for lounging. There is a small souvenir store nearby with very limited groceries, ice and firewood. The pools include an outdoor swimming pool, an outdoor wading pool for children, and an indoor 102 °F therapeutic spa.

Trip pricing is based upon the type of site you choose and whether you’ll be sharing a tent or RV. RV sites have water, electricity, picnic table and a fire ring. A dump station is located within the park. Some sites may not be completely level - we suggest bringing leveling blocks. Depending upon the RV site, tow vehicles may have to park in a nearby site.

The campground is near many excellent hiking trails and other locations to view desert wildflowers.

Cancellation and Refunds

You may cancel your reservation and receive a full refund up to 2 weeks before the trip start date. For this trip, the final cancellation date is February 28, 2025. Refunds will not be available after that date or on any registrations made within those 2 weeks of a trip start date, unless we can fill your spot with another camper.

Directions

Please carpool if you can and fill your gas tank well before arriving at camp since the nearest gas stations are in Borrego Springs (30 miles), Julian (33 miles), or Ocotillo (27 miles).

Address: 39555 Great Southern Overland Stage Route of 1849, Julian, CA 92036

From Ramona through Julian: East on State Highway 78 to Scissors Crossing then south 22 miles on Highway S2 to the park entrance.

From Interstate 8: East on Interstate 8 and exit at Ocotillo, then 26 miles north on Highway S2 to the park entrance.

Extra Vehicles and Fees

Depending on what time you arrive, you may be asked to pay the extra vehicle fee if the allotted campsite parking spaces have already been filled.

Join Great Outdoors San Diego for a Hike at Cowles Mtn and Pyles Pk!

Join us on Sunday, 4/13 at 1:05 PM (We will start when everyone is ready 15 min) for a hike! A bathroom is provided at the start of the trail. There is no water. Cowles and Pyles Pk can be strenuous for new hikers. Embark with us on a 7.12 mile hike along the mountain inspired by nature's creatures at Cowles Mtn & Pyles Pk.

Note: The Pyles Peak section of this hike is an optional add on based on group consensus.

This is a great but challenging hike with magnificent views along the way. Find your inner self and enjoy seeing mini dust tornadoes and other exotic phenomenon before heading back with dusty shoes and inspiration in tow!

This is a moderately challenging 7.12 mile out-and-back along Cowles Mtn and Pyles Pk in the San Carlos area with continuous views and 2,389 feet in elevation change. It is open to members or non-members.

Details: We’ll take a hike along Cowles Mtn and Pyles Pk at a viewpoint with views.

Host: Jeremiah O’Neal 619-788-9407

Trail: Cowles Service Road >> Cowles Mtn >> Pyles Pk >> Cowles Mtn >> Barker Way

Length: 7.1 miles

Difficulty: Difficult

Elevation Gain: 2,389 feet

RSVP: Please register using this link

Meeting Location(by Google Map): https://maps.app.goo.gl/KL7Eq9AQzbTreUCbA

Note: (Please park on the left side of the road away from the houses)

Meeting Date & Time: Sunday, 4/13 at 1:05 PM - We will plan to start when everyone is ready (15mins after start time at latest).

Parking: Street parking near the chain link fence

Cost: None

Time Commitment: Plan for approx 3 hours. However, we will turn back before Pyles Pk if the time to complete the loop exceeds 3 hours which it shouldn’t.

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. Bring with you some form of eye protection, water, and some kind of jacket during the colder months and sunscreen during the hot months. 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.

Dogs: Though dogs are permitted, signs on trail advise that you do not bring animals on this trail. In addition, rattlesnakes can be found on this trail. Read the warning signs carefully and please use your best judgment.

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.

Note: The final portion of Pyles Pk can be extremely slippery on the return. Please be careful.

Los Angeles and Palm Springs Chapters Present

Central Coast and Morro Bay Camping

Join us as we explore the beautiful Morro Bay area, perhaps California's most scenic coastline, on a 6-day/5-night camping getaway!

Our theme will be "Explore Nature's Beauty and Experience our Magnificent California Central Coast."

Our excursions on this trip will include the expert leadership and guidance of Joe Holliday who is a former Professor of Geology and Earth Science, and a current international naturalist and guide for National Geographic Expeditions, GeoTours, and other travel organizations.

Walk along empty sea cliffs with waves crashing on the rocks. Observe elephant seals, sea lions, and sea otters up close, and maybe gray whales at a distance. See spring wildflowers bloom on the green landscape of San Luis Obispo County. Hike up to a waterfall and see redwood trees along the Big Sur Coast. Discover the unique biology and geology from our trip leaders, and enjoy cooking, socializing and camp camaraderie.

Campsite Details:

We have reserved the Premium Group Campsite #GCHO at Morro Bay State Park Campground, which is within walking distance of trails in the Morro Bay wetland, the Natural History Museum, and viewpoints overlooking Morro Bay. The group site allows tents only.

We also have reserved RV spaces near to our group site and within easy walking distance. Maximum length of RV is 35 feet. These are standard sites without hookups. An RV sanitation station and water-fill station are also available. Firewood is for sale from the campground host and proceeds go to help the Central Coast State Parks Association.

Campground amenities include flush toilets, hot showers (token operated), fire rings, picnic tables, and potable water. Morro Bay village is about two miles away, with grocery stores, restaurants, gas stations, and other amenities.

Day Activities:

Activities will be located north and south of Morro Bay. Some planned hikes and walks are:

Morro Rock: walk from camp, to include stops at Morro Bay Museum of Natural History, Heron Rookery Natural Preserve, observing sea otters in the bay, and the MB Embarcadero

Montaña de Oro State Park: tide pools, walk Bluff Trail to sea cliffs to small coves

San Simeon Beach: Observe the only elephant seal colony on the US mainland

Overlook and small hikes at Ragged Point and Salmon Falls along the Big Sur Coast

Visit the southernmost redwood grove in California

Kayaking on Bay ?

Be sure to pick up your dishes when you leave. Let's aim to minimize trash/ single-use disposables. Thank you for pitching in to keep our camp clean.

Registration, parking limits, carpooling:

Parking at the group site lot is limited. After the group campsite spaces are full, parking is available on the street outside of the campground, and at night extra cars can park in the town of Morro Bay about 3/4 of a mile away. Therefore, we encourage carpooling. Besides, it also saves gas, reduces traffic congestion and pollution, and may earn you the respect and admiration of your peers.

The remaining vehicles can unload their gear at the campsite, check for shuttle options, and park off site as noted. It may be helpful to ask each other to help shuttle folks back/forth.

If you are interested in carpooling you might check out the website https://www.groupcarpool.com/. You can list your car, or that you are looking for a ride while using the chat feature to plan, organize and leave messages. Please note though due to liability and insurance reasons Great Outdoors cannot organize carpools and hike/trip leaders cannot take an active role in making arrangements for participants' transportation.

If the trip is sold out, please add yourself to the wait list.

Getting there:

Directions from Route 1: Exit at South Bay Rd (Baywood Park) off ramp, turn left, go about 1 mile, turn right into park, go about 1 mile (do not go up the uphill road on the right), turn right into campground, check in at entry booth.

Bring your 10 essentials, your camping & cooking gear, food, and a bundle or two of firewood. Dress in layers since the mornings can start cold, and sea breezes can be strong on the central California coast.

Cancellation:

Refund minus $10 service fee will be issued if cancelled by April 2. No refunds will be issued after this date. If you need to cancel, email both trip leaders directly, as soon as possible so we can notify the next person on the waitlist.

Health issues/allergies: It is the responsibility of participants to carry on their person a record of significant allergies, medications and medical history in the event of a medical emergency. Discuss any medical concerns with the hike leader if you wish.

Pet Policy: No dogs allowed on the beach.

OCLB Annual Yosemite Trip!

Heaven On Earth!

Orange County/Long Beach

goes to

Yosemite National Park

Curry Village Canvas Tents

May 9-12, 2025

Need we say more?

Yes we will!

Spring in Yosemite can't be beat!

We will be heading to Yosemite at the BEST time to visit this illustrious National Park! The weather will be amazing with the waterfalls at their most dynamic! Our lodging for the 3-night outing will be in Camp Curry, in unheated canvas tents.

We have sold out for 3 years in a row (one year out of four was cancelled due to the major snow/landslide that closed Curry Village for a few months).

Do NOT hesitate to book as soon as possible as we expect this event to be SOLD OUT again!

If you would like to visit Yosemite in it's winter grandeur and the famous Horsetail Fire Fall - check out San Diego's Yosemite trip in February.

Link: https://www.greatoutdoors.org/event-5969602

Yosemite is one of the most popular National Parks in the country and we in southern California are very fortunate to have it so close. If you have never seen it then this Great Outdoors trip is a good opportunity for you to be introduced to this special place.

If you have been there one or more times, then you’ll understand why many have made a Yosemite visit an annual event. The grandeur and majesty of the park are so enriching that Yosemite can be experienced and enjoyed again and again. The natural beauty of the park has inspired many for the last 150 years, but perhaps none more effusive than John Muir, who said of Yosemite, “It is by far the grandest of all the special temples of Nature I was ever permitted to enter.” Please join us in this temple of the great outdoors.

The location of this trip will be Yosemite Valley. Our accommodations are canvas tents in Camp Curry, a rustic but charming village near the east end of the valley.

Arrival should be about 4:00 pm on Friday afternoon.

For both Saturday and Sunday, there will be optional hikes each day to choose from - one will be strenuous, the other will be easy. Or simply visit the galleries, stores, bike ride, museums and/or stroll in the valley floor!

On Monday morning we must check out of the cabins by 11:00 am.

More details will be announced as we finalize registration.

Canvas Tents:

We have secured four canvas tents for our group.

Each tent has 3 single beds and a double. We can max out at 5 people per tent. We are hoping to get a couple or friends (with benefits or without benefits) to share the double bed. This way we can max out each tent with 5 people so that we can get as many as possible to experience Yosemite for this excursion.

Typically women have no problems sharing a tent with guys; however if we have enough women for this trip - we will need a minimum of 4 women (preferable 5 to max out capacity); the women can have their own canvas tent.

If you want to be in the same tent with another member please note that on the registration.

If you prefer sharing a double cot with someone please note that on the registration and who the person is so we match you with the correct person.

If you have a LOUD snoring issue, you should consider not attending so that others will not be affected by the noise. This is close sleeping quarters.

Driving & Directions:

We will review carpooling options once registration is finalized both to save the environment and save on fuel costs. We usually stop in Fresno for lunch prior to heading into Yosemite. (Chipotle stop in the below photo).

What else?

Cooking facilities/campfire rings are not available in Curry Village. However, there are several dining options near our cabins.

Such as Pizza & Beer, Cafeteria (with Vegan options!) and of course burgers & fries too. A general store is also open for purchasing food items and other material goods. You may bring snack food and drinks, but all food and scented items must be stored in the bear-proof storage locker in front of the cabin. This includes all food, food related items, toiletries, sundries and ice chests. Bears have a strong sense of smell and are attracted to anything they think will lead them to human food. Remember not to store these items in your vehicle or canvas tent . It is recommended to use sealed plastic containers for storing your food inside the bear boxes. This makes it easier to keep your food organized, and away from campground critters.
And of course, there is the option of having some fine dining at the Awahnee!

Showers, sinks and flush toilets are all available to participants.

Be sure to remember a flashlight or headlamp to find your way around Camp Curry at night. In addition, a sleeping bag (recommended), an extra blanket or a honey bunny may help keep you warm at night. Other things to bring:

•Warm outer gear appropriate for snow and/or rain or Shorts and T-shirts for warm days

•Layered under gear (long underwear, etc.)

•Hat, gloves, scarf, etc.

•Sunglasses, sun block (for your face), lip balm

•Sturdy hiking shoes

Weather: Average temperatures in May in the Yosemite Valley range from the high 40s/low 50s (night time) to the low-mid 70s during the day. Conditions may vary between sun, clouds, rain, or snow. Be prepared for anything. Expect the unexpected!

The trip leader will inform you of the weather conditions a couple days before our arrival but you may also want to keep abreast of them by using the Yosemite National Park website. (Click here.)

Price:

$210 for Great Outdoors members for the 4 days/3 nights event. Come early on Friday to enjoy the park and/or stay late on Monday to enjoy the pack! We will check into our canvas tents at 4 PM on Friday.

This is a members only event, thus an annual membership ($25) must be purchased prior to signing up for this event.

If you have a LOUD snoring issue, you should consider not attending so that others will not be affected by the noise. This is close sleeping quarters.

Cancellations will be authorized up to 21 days prior to start day of event IF a replacement can be found; a $20 cancellation fee will be charged.

Trip Leader: Lance Whitmier

Lance states: Yosemite mesmerized me the very first time I visited the Park in the 90's. I always brag about the majestic beauty of Yosemite along with it's grandeur and power. I claim that Yosemite is indeed "my Heaven on Earth" and I can't wait to share the experience with you!" For those visiting Yosemite for the first time - be prepared to experience a bit of heaven and the surreal!

There is a slight downhill grade which is deceiving for the effort to return so we will monitor our time and possibly break into slower and faster groups. Bike and electric bike rentals are available in Ojai. Rental is on your own and needs to be done in advance.

Great Outdoors

Orange County-Long Beach

presents a return to:

Pinnacles National Park!

Friday June 13 - Monday June 16, 2025

Paicines, CA (about 5 1/2 hours from OC)

Some 23 million years ago multiple volcanoes erupted, flowed, and slid to form what would become Pinnacles National Park. What remains is a unique landscape. Travelers journey through chaparral, oak woodlands, and canyon bottoms. Hikers enter rare talus caves and emerge to towering rock spires teeming with life: prairie and peregrine falcons, golden eagles, and the inspiring California condor.

Details

We have reserved Group Site G121. This Group Site only allow tents.

Sorry but there are no spaces for RVs.

Cost is $55 per person for the 4 days/3 nights campout.

Registration is by credit card only.

There is also a $35 per vehicle National Park Service Entry Fee, good for 7 days, and payable at the kiosk. And as you know the Annual National Parks 'America the Beautiful' Pass or Lifetime Senior Pass will also work for entrance into the Park.

Campground amenities include flush toilets, fire rings, picnic tables, and potable water. Coin-operated showers are available as is a general store.

Don't know what to expect from Pinnacles National Park? Click on this link for an outstanding short video as an introduction to this majestic site. This will get you excited about visiting Pinnacles National Park.

Registration:

This campout is limited by the number of vehicles allowed for the group sites. If the registration looks sold out when you register, please add yourself to the wait list. Based on the number of vehicles from other registrants and their member guests, you may still be added to the trip in the order added to the wait list if we can fit you in.

We are hoping that members will consider carpooling so that more members will be able to attend this campout since the attendance is limited by the number of vehicles for the camp site. Preferably we would like each driver to take 2-3 passengers so that more people can attend.

If you are interested in providing riding space for other registrants or looking for a ride, please contact the Trip Leader.

The first 5 drivers registered will be able to park in the group site; all other drivers will park in the overflow parking area.

Registration Fee is $55 per person.

This event is limited to GO members. When you register, you'll need to have your credit card ready and pay your registration fee within 15 minutes. If you are not a member, you can first join as a member online and then return to register for the event.

Things to do

Activities will be based on weather, so there will be no set schedule. Some ideas are:

Hiking: There will be hikes (easy, moderate and strenuous) planned for each day (Saturday & Sunday). These hikes are optional.

Explore the Park on your own.

Relax to your hearts content; there is a swimming pool!

Attend the Visitors Center.

Additional emails will be sent to registrants with more details as the trip nears.

Dogs are allowed on a leash in the campground but NOT allowed on the hiking trails. Be considerate to your puppy!

Campground Activities:

We'll have a Meet-n-Greet on Friday evening at about 4 pm.

Great Outdoors on Saturday morning will provide a continental breakfast. Fruit turnovers, other pastry delights and orange Juice will be provided. Any leftovers will also be available Sunday/Monday.

Great Outdoors on Saturday evening will provide Hot Dogs (Roast that wiener- if fires are approved - vegan & non-vegan) and chips; pot luck welcomed for an evening meal.

All meals except the Saturday morning continental breakfast and Saturday night's Hot Dog Extravaganza are the responsibility of each attendee; however, we will provide a communal mealtime for all meals if interested.

As usual, BYOB.

Getting there:

Carpooling is highly recommended to help reduce gas consumption, parking costs, and the entrance fee. As mentioned before, attendance is limited to the number of vehicles registered. We will be offering a caravan of cars departing Friday morning if you are interested - details to follow.

Additional emails will be sent to registrants with more details as the trip nears.

Cancellation:

Full refunds will be issued minus a $15 processing fee if cancelled by May 2oth. Sorry but no refunds will be issued if cancelled after that date.

Contact the trip leader if you need to cancel.

Ten Essentials:

Bring your 10 essentials, your camping & cooking gear, food, and a bundle or two of firewood.

Dress in layers since the mornings can start cold with the day warming quickly and cooling just as quickly as the sun goes down. The previous visit to Pinnacles which was late March, it was cold at night (30's), and highs of 50-60; hence we are going in June so it will be a lot warmer during the day.

Sunscreen and a wide brimmed hat would be a good idea too.

Temperatures in June can range from 40's-50's (early morning) to the 80's (afternoon) - depending on the weather conditions. It will be HOT! in the afternoon.

We have been having some funky weather in the past few years, yes Muriel there is such a thing as climate change - so be prepared for the expected and the unexpected!

Additional emails will be sent to registrants with more details as the trip nears.

Photos from a previous OCLB trip to Pinnacles:

We pass the place where James Dean crashed, and of course there is a homage to him (photo below) and we always seem to find a Chipotle to have a meal either on our way or coming from our camping trip. Yummy!

John Muir Wilderness?

Yes Please!

This is an exciting and challenging 5-day backpacking trip under the Easter Sierra Sky. Tully Lake, located in the Eastern Sierra Nevada region, is described as a serene and picturesque destination that embodies the rugged beauty of the area. The lake is praised for its crystal-clear waters surrounded by towering granite peaks, lush alpine meadows, and evergreen forests. The dramatic backdrop of the Sierra Nevada adds to the allure. We will leave from the McGee Creek trailhead at 8 AM on the morning of July 11th at 8,045 feet. At first, our ascent will be moderate. After passing locally known Round Lake at the 5-mile mark, we will climb more steeply, heading to Big McGee Lake at about 7 ½ miles at altitude 10,472 feet. There are heavily used campsites at the lake where we will stay the night. We will be surrounded by the colorful walls of the Red Mountain and White Mountain.

On day two, we will cover 5.5 miles, crossing over McGee Pass at 11,909 feet, and then descend steeply to Fish Creek, crossing the creek at about 10,600 feet to camp at beautiful Tully Lake.

We will spend the remainder of our stay at Tully Lake and enjoy exploring the surrounding lakes and valleys. Plenty of great views, fishing, day hikes, or just relaxing around the scenic lake.

This backpacking trip is considered strenuous/moderate, and you must be able to keep a moderate pace with the entire group.
