    Join waitlist

    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.

    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.


    There are restrooms at Central Park and Public Parking nearby. The group will meet near the restrooms at 10 AM. Click here for map of the Park.


    After meeting up, we will walk south on Washington, west on Philadelphia, then south Bright, west on Wardman, to Greenleaf Ave for about a half block to the Starlight Whittier Village Cinema. The building was constructed in 1932, damaged in the Whittier earthquake of 1987, then repaired and re-opened in 1990.


    From the theater, our trip will take us north on Greenleaf, 4 blocks, past Hadley to the Guirado House, one of many historic houses in Uptown. At Broadway Ave, we will turn west. We will pass through a residential area with a couple of parks. When we reach the Greenway Belt which is a trail that follows the old Union Pacific railroad’s Salt-Lake route southeast from Los Angeles into Orange County we will follow it.


    Our next stop will be the Cool-a-Coo Ice Cream Plant (historic Quaker Maid Creamery) which we will get to at the junction of the Greenway Belt and Hadley.

    Reaching Philadelphia Street on the Greenway Trail, we will take a short detour east to see Whittier High School the facade of which was used in the 1985 movie ‘Back to the Future.’


    Backon the Whittier Greenway Trail, we will walk to Mar Vista past the orange-growers packing house (King Richard’s Antique Mall).


    Turning east until we arrive at the Uptown Market for a look.


    Back on Greenleaf we pass the old Whittier Depot of the Southern Pacific Railroad built in 1892 about a half block north of Mar Vista.


    We will head back north on Greenleaf reaching the former National Bank of Whittier Building designed by the Parkinson’s. This father and son also designed Los Angeles City Hall, Union Station and Bullocks Wilshire. The elder Mr. Parkinson also designed the Grand Central Market in Los Angeles. This building is now a food court where we will stop for lunch.


    After lunch, those interested can take a walk through the Whittier College campus.

    12 Angry Men

    w/member Steve Fitzgerald in the cast!



    Following the closing arguments in a murder trial, the 12 members of the jury must deliberate, with a guilty verdict meaning death for the accused, an inner-city teen. As the dozen people try to reach a unanimous decision while sequestered in a room, one juror casts considerable doubt on elements of the case. Personal issues soon rise to the surface, and conflict threatens to derail the delicate process that will decided one boy's fate.

    Boasting a cast with a combined resume of over 900 productions, 12 will make you Angry, will make your admire, and make you think. As it touches on themes that resonate as strongly today as they did when the show premiered in 1957.

    Start Time and Location: Show starts at 7pm at the IFTC 5454 Ruffin Road, San Diego, CA 92123

    Costs involved: Tickets for students and children are $8.35 and seniors are $13.60. Adult tickets are $16.75 but if you contact trip host Steve Fitzgerald he can provide a discount code to bring it down 25%

  • PS - CHUCKWALLA WILDERNESS

    • Sun, January 19, 2025
    • 8:00 AM - 4:30 PM

    Less than two hours east of Palm Springs, the Chuckwalla Bench is a spectacular landscape abundant with wildlife and rare desert plants. The Chuckwalla Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC) is home to North America’s biggest and most intact old-growth microphyll woodland, as well as some of California’s best desert tortoise habitat. Now remote and peaceful, the Chuckwalla Bench also features a rich history of human activity, from prehistoric and traditional Native American cultural sites, to historic gold miners’ trails. With hundreds of miles of trails and roads, across rugged mountains and sprawling vistas, there are endless opportunities for exploration. Join us for a rare chance to explore this invaluable piece of public land and learn its secrets. 

    Depart from Coachella Valley (meeting spot TBD)

    Access requires  4 wheel drive off road trail rated vehicle.

    Itinerary details will be added later and sent to registered guest.


    Great Outdoors Contact: Scott C: VPO-PS@GreatOutdoors.org

    1. This largely unknown habitat provides essential ecosystem services. The woodlands and their seasonal washes (streams) transport water, seeds, and other nutrients to nearby desert ecosystems. They are the veins of the desert supporting plant and animal life for miles.
    2. Microphyll woodlands comprise only five percent of the acreage in Sonoran Desert but account for 95 percent of the habitat for migrating birds!

      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.

      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 1stStreet 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.

      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 include hiking a slot canyon in the Mecca Hills, a 4x4 excursion, an easy hike to the Visitor Center to view exhibits and a video on the Salton Sea, and 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.

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

        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

        Think eco-friendly. Everyone brings their own reusable plates, utensils, cups, napkins, etc. For the potluck, remember to bring your own serving dishes, bowls or platters with serving utensils. 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:

        This campout is limited by the number of vehicles allowed at the group sites. Our group site (35 persons max) comes with 15 parking spaces. After the 15 spaces are full, during the day parking is available on the street outside of the campground, and at night extra cars will have to 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.

        We will assign the first 15 parking spots at the group site in the order people register. The remaining vehicles will need to park outside as noted. It may be helpful to ask each other to help shuttle folks back/forth.

        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.

        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.

        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!
