    This 7.4 mile, shuttle hike offers a great aerobic workout while enjoying the beauty of the San Jacinto Mountains, Santa Rosa Mountains, and Coachella Valley.  A creek after the big uphill climb offers a refreshing break from the desert mountain trail conditions. The return trail follows high above the creek as it descends into Palm Canyon.

    Everyone will gather for this shuttle-supported hike at 8:30 AM at the Trading Post inside Indian Canyons.  Once gathered, several cars will be used to shuttle all hikers to the Murray Canyon parking lot where the hike will begin. 

    The Indian Canyons gate is located at the southern end of South Palm Canyon Drive.  Admission is $12 per adult with a discounted senior (62+) price of $7; U.S. Military (active, reserve or retired) is free.  for speed and ease of entry partiipants are encouraged to pay online, print out the confirmation and hand it to the gate agent.  For payment information click here.

    Our hike begins on the well maintained Coffman Trail with fairly modest grades. We’ll climb over 2,000 feet in just over 3 miles.  After this climb, the trail gradually descends to a creek that may or may not allow a dry crossing.  From there we connect with the West Fork Trail for the mostly downhill hike back to Palm Canyon and the Trading Post. There are panoramic views and dessert flora and fauna.  

    No internet, very little shade, bring plenty of water.

    A Moderate Hike in the Puente Hills Preserve in Whittier

    Sycamore Canyon to Water Tower

    Saturday January 24, 2026 @ 9:00 AM


    NOTE: Photos are from this hike in October 2024


    Distance: 6.3 miles | Elevation gain: 1,132 Ft

    Time:  Allow about 3 -3.5 hours depending on  our pace and water/snack/lunch breaks.


    This one is ideal for our Long Beach members as the trailhead is 3 minutes off the 605 freeway near Rose Hills Memorial Park in Whittier. It’s an easy 30 minute drive from Long Beach.

    This in and out hike starts in Sycamore Canyon, located in the Puente Hills Preserve.


    From the website of the Puente Hills Habitat Preservation Authority:  

    Located in the westernmost portion of the Preserve, just south of Rose Hills Memorial Park, Sycamore Canyon boasts a perennial creek and large riparian trees along the meandering Sycamore Canyon Trail.  

    Due to the varied topography and presence of water, the canyon is home to a variety of plant communities and wildlife such as mule deer, bobcats, several species of bats, and California toads.

    It is an especially good birdwatching area, with regular sightings of the regionally significant coastal cactus wren and federally threatened coastal California gnatcatcher, as well as seasonally migrating bird species.


    Because of the presence of ecologically sensitive resources, Sycamore Canyon Trail is only open to hiking (dogs, horseback riding, and bicycles are not allowed).

    Along the way there are great views of Rose Hills (the largest cemetery in North America) and its Buddhist Columbarium (the largest Buddhist pagoda in the United States).


    Big THANKS to GO members and Whittier residents Joe Huckeba and Jim VanCampen for suggesting this hike.

    Where Do We Begin?


    The trailhead is 3 minutes off the 605 freeway just before Rose Hills Memorial park at:

    5040 Workman Mill Road in Whittier, CA

    Link to Trailhead in Google Maps

    There is a porta potty at the trailhead.


    The Hike

    The hike is pretty flat for the first mile and we will go past a small oil field at the beginning of the hike. There is a small creek with pretty lush vegetation including the namesake sycamore trees. We will cross the creek and then there is a series of switchbacks that takes us up to Rattlesnake Ridge. This is the hardest section of the hike.

    Once on the ridge the view is 360 degrees and is impressive one a clear day. From there we continue on the ridge and have one more hill to climb (the second hardest section) to get to our destination, the water tower.

    After a short break we will continue back the way we came. There is not much shade on the entire hike.

    What to Bring:

    You should bring your ten essentials, a day pack, water (2 to 3 liters), trekking poles, sunscreen, hat and trail snacks. 

    Option:

    If there is any interest, we can have lunch after the hike at:

    Rodeo 72 Public Market

    7012 Walnut Grove Dr, Whittier CA 


    Any Questions:

    If you have any questions about this hike, please do not hesitate to reach out to your trip leader. 


    Email:  [email protected] 

    If there are any last-minute day-of cancellations,

    please let me know via text:

    626-319- 4740.

    Click here for the list of ten essentials.

    Wear shoes with good tread, as parts of the trail are steep with loose gravel.

    Carpooling is recommended to help reduce gas, cost and the environment.

    If you cannot attend, please cancel your registration, so the next person on the waiting list can have a chance to register.

    Sitton Peak Day Hike!


     January 31 - 9:00 AM

    Via Bear Ridge Trail and Bear Canyon Trail


    Meeting Place: Trailhead near the Candy Store.

    Pictured:  At the Candy Store- ready to begin the hike.

    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.


    Pictured:  Arrived at Four Corners on the trail - intersection of four trails.

    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:  Rick, Robert and the Juan in the background descending from the peak.

    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.

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

    Lance Whitmier will be leading this hike.

    " 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!"

    Trail Basics & Logistics

    • Facilities: A vault toilet is available 5-6 mi away from tralhead. Bathrooms are at the entrance to Blair Valley Campground; no other facilities or water on the trail itself. 
    • Restrictions: No bikes or horses; no dogs on the trail. 

    Cultural & Historical Significance

    The word “Morteros” refers to grinding holes (also called morteros or ehmuu by the Kumeyaay) carved into large rocks where indigenous people ground seeds, nuts, and agave into flour and meal. These features are sometimes called bedrock mortars or grinding slicks, depending on how the rock was worn. 

    As you follow the trail:

    • You’ll see numerous morteros, ranging from deep grinding holes to smooth slicks created by repetitive processing of plant foods. There are also numerous metates (flat rocks with slick area) uses to further grind plant foods into a finer flour. There are also a number of shelters that were carved at the ancient village site. Look for rocks blackened at the bottom of shelters by ancient campfires. 
    • Cupules — small ground holes that may have served ritual or ceremonial purposes — also dot the landscape. 
    • The Kumeyaay harvested plants like desert agave, yucca, juniper berries, and more, which still grow along and near the trail; evidence of roasting pits and processing occurs in the surrounding sands. 

    This trail isn’t just about the distance you cover — it’s about seeing tangible remnants of Indigenous life in the desert and learning about centuries-old food preparation, shelter use, and artistic expression. 

    What You Will See on the Trail

    Archaeological Features

    • Morteros / Ehmuu (Grinding Holes): Bedrock depressions used for grinding seeds and plant material. There are also numerous metates (flat rock with lick area) uses to further grind plant foods into a finer flour.
    • Cupules: Smaller hollows carved into rock, possibly for ceremonial use. 

    Natural Features

    • Desert Flora: Look for agave, Mojave yucca, California juniper, jojoba, and ephedran among the scrub. 
    • Desert Landscape: Sweeping views over Little Blair Valley provide context for this once vibrant seasonal landscape. 

    Tips for Visitors

    • Bring water and sun protection: The desert sun can be intense, even on short hikes.
    • Take the interpretive brochure: Available at the trailhead or visitor center; it enhances then cultural context as you walk. 
    • Best Time to Visit: Cooler months (fall through spring) are ideal; summers can be extremely hot.
    • Combine with Nearby Hikes: The Pictograph Trail and other Little Blair Valley routes offer more extensive exploration of Kumeyaay sites. 

    Why Morteros Trail Is Special

    Morteros Trail stands out not for its length or physical challenge, but for its deep connection to the desert’s human history. You’re walking through a landscape that was actively used by Native Americans for food processing, shelter, and expression thousands of years before modern visitors arrived — a rare and meaningful experience in one of California’s most spectacular state parks.

    Pictograph Trail Hike

    Whale Peak via the Pictograph Trail - I Hike San Diego

    Pictograph Trail is a culturally rich and scenic hike in the Little Blair Valley Cultural Preserve, within Anza-Borrego Desert State Park in Southern California. It leads to an ancient Kumeyaay rock art (pictograph) site and offers visitors a tangible connection to Indigenous history set against a striking desert backdrop.

    Hike Start Time and Location: 12:30pm at Pictograph Trail

    Hike Length: 2.6 miles round-trip

    Hike Elevation Change: Modest — roughly a few hundred feet of gain as you approach the pictographs and potential extended viewpoints.

    Hike Difficulty Rating: Moderate. Most of the trail is well-defined with gentle terrain; the first section crosses a low divide into Smuggler Canyon.

    Estimated Hike Time: Plan 2-3 hours total, allowing time to view the pictographs and take in the scenery.

    Hike Type (out-and-back, loop, shuttle): out and back

    Google Map: https://greatoutdoors.org/admin/events/details/edit/?DetailsDisplayMode=Edit&eventId=6509203&selTab=1

    Parking Information: The trailhead is via unpaved sand roads through Blair Valley and Little Blair Valley; high-clearance or AWD vehicles recommended, especially after rain.

    Pets Permitted: Not allowed on trail.

    Who to Contact with Questions: Len Burkhart at [email protected]

    Trail Basics & Logistics
    • Facilities: There are no services or water on the trail; a vault toilet is typically available near the entrance to Blair Valley (6-7 miles from the trailhead).
    • Visitors should not touch the pictographs to help preserve the art.

    Cultural & Historical Significance

    The destination of this trail is a rock art panel created by the Kumeyaay people over a 1,000 years ago. These pictographs are painted in red and yellow pigments and feature geometric forms such as diamond chains, chevrons, and wavy lines. The motifs precise meanings are not fully understood by archaeologists. 

    This site is one of the few rock art locations in the park that is advertised and interpreted for the public, set within the broader Little Blair Valley Cultural Preserve that protects multiple Indigenous sites including processing areas and seasonal habitation zone.

    What You’ll See on the Trail

    Ancient Rock Art (Pictographs)

    • The centerpiece of the trail is a large boulder adorned with ancient pictographs — symbolic rock paintings left by the Kumeyaay.
    • The motifs reflect skillful use of red and yellow pigments and may signify cultural expression, ceremonial purposes, or other symbolic meanings.

    Desert Landscape & Flora

    • Along the trail you will pass through classic desert terrain with creosote, ocotillo, agave, yucca, juniper, and other indigenous plants.
    • Views across Little Blair Valley and Smuggler Canyon showcase the wider desert environment — open vistas that shift with light and season.

    Tips for Visiting

    • Bring plenty of water and sun protection 
    • Go in cooler months (fall through spring) for best comfort and wildflower displays.
    • Respect archaeological sites by staying on the trail and not touching the paintings.
    • High-clearance vehicles help with the sandy roads leading to the trailhead — especially during wetter conditions.

    Why Pictograph Trail Is Worth It

    What makes Pictograph Trail particularly special is how it blends outdoor adventure with deep cultural resonance. You are not just walking through a desert wash — you are moving through space shaped by centuries of Indigenous presence, stopping at art that has survived since long before European contact. Whether you are curious about Native American history, geology, or just beautiful open spaces, this trail offers a meaningful and accessible window into both cultural heritage and desert beauty.

    Register

    Description:  Lost Horse Loop Trail is a 6.8 mile trail located in Joshua Tree National Park just off the Keys View Road.  The trail follows the remains of the old service road for the mine which is located about 1.5 miles from the trailhead at elevation 4600-5120 feet.  The mine, over 100 years old, is one of the best preserved and was one of the most productive mines in Joshua Tree having produced 10,000 ounces of gold and 16,000 ounces of silver between the years of 1894 and 1931. 


    Lost Horse Mine was discovered by Johnny Lang while either looking for one of his lost horses or a stolen horse whose tracks took him to the Lost Horse Valley and the camp of Jim McHaney with his gang of cattle rustlers and horse thieves.  After being told he did not lose a horse, Johnny Lang left and on his way back ran into “Dutch” Frank Diebold.  After being shown a piece of ore, Johnny bought the rights to the mine for $1,000 from “Dutch.”  After a number of partners, Johnny was eventually forced to sell his share of the mine after his main partner, J.D. Ryan, hired a detective who caught him stealing.  Johnny didn’t go too far and settled in the next canyon near the mine now named Johnny Long Canyon.  In 1925, Johnny left a note on his cabin door saying he had left for food and bedded down for the night at the entrance to the canyon not too far from the mine.  He died that night and was not found until two months later by Bill Keys, owner of the Keys View Ranch.  After reporting his death to the county coroner, Mr. Keys buried Johnny where he was found near the Keys View Road just at the turn to the Lost Horse Mine parking area.

However, you may decide on any of the options when you get there. Make sure that you bring a map. Maps are posted below. See Trail.

    The meetup is in the blue square. The red arrows show what direction walkers and runners will be heading after the group photo. PLEASE DO NOT START WALKING/RUNNING UNTIL AFTER THE GROUP PHOTO!!!

    Front Runners & Walkers is San Diego’s LGBTQ+ running club. This group currently meet weekly on Tuesdays, Thursdays & Saturdays to walk and run in Balboa Park at 6th Avenue and Laurel Street (frwsd.org/)

    For this event, I will be walking with Frontrunners through Balboa Park and then back. At upcoming events, I jog Air & Space. My average/continuous running speed is 5.2mi (and 2.2mi above my average at the beginning) in 55min non-stop. I’ve been running with this group for about a month after 2025 Pride. I’m doing it for my health.

    What to Bring

    • Food. Some people may experience dizziness due to strenuous physical activity. Food can sometimes resolve this.

    • Ten Essentials

    • Phone/camera 

    • Walking and running clothes, including good-quality shoes.

    • Any prescription or other needed medications

    • Sun protection (hat, sunglasses, sunblock, lip block)

    • A reflective vest and a light vest are highly recommended. It gets dark, and you will be jogging across busy streets at dusk. Example of one on Amazon

    Suggestions: 

    You may be running/walking with people not in Great Outdoors. Please be careful crossing streets running/walking. Its best to use the pedestrian walk button when crossing, even when others are crossing without the green walk sign. Print the map so you have a copy.

    You will be crossing multiple lanes of traffic and walking/running along crowded areas. Call-out/shout when passing anyone/anything and hold your hands out and use eye contact when crossing alleyways and stop signs. If you bump anyone, take notes on exactly what happened.

    The run starts a little after  6:00PM. Wear bright colors and lights. It gets very dark towards the end of the walk/run.

    Be careful around dogs/children. Do not assume all dogs are friendly.

    If you get lost, backtrack. We meet up at the same location we started from. The group rarely leaves the starting location until everyone has returned. If you intend to run, try a practice 5-mile run before this event. If you cannot finish within 60 min. You may want to run partway and then reverse and run back the way you came, cutting your distance.

    There are devices/apps that will call 9-1-1 if you fall/become unresponsive. Consider getting a device/app that does this if you’re worried about falling.

    Wear a good pair of running shoes. If you feel pain, stop and then walk back. In addition, keep track of sores. Go to a hospital if you notice any change. Talk to your doctor prior to the run if you have any kind of medical problems.

    For the University and Air & Space run, there is active construction at the corner of University Ave and 6th Ave. We’ll take a shortcut through alleyways to avoid this area in order to get back onto 6th Ave on the return back. (7th, then Pennsylvania, then 6th)

    Cell Phone: Bring your cellphone with you. If you run into any medical issues, dial 9-1-1.

    Health Problems/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 a trip leader if you wish. Optionally, you’re more than welcome to wait for the group to return to the starting spot in less than 1 hour if you feel this walk/run will be too much. Please do not leave early. Stay for the entire hour and a half.

    Contact/Question - If you have any questions not addressed by the information above or on our registration page, please feel free to contact the trip leaders: Jeremiah O’Neal (Text 619-788-9407), but please do so before the day of the event. I will not be reachable during the event.

      The canyon was named after Joe Toutain, who owned a ranch in the area until 1930 (when he sold it), and lived in Iron Canyon, a canyon on the north side of the Whitewater Canyon Road, between Bonnie Bell and the Whitewater Preserve Visitor Centre (the mouth of that canyon is visible from the road).

      Joe Toutain is remembered as a Constable who was a member of the posse that tracked Willie Boy. You can find good information about the Willie Boy story at the following link:

      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.

        • Joshua Tree National Park Cottonwood Entrance

        The trail to Lost Palms Oasis in Joshua Tree National Park begins at the east end of Cottonwood Springs Oasis Road near the southern entrance of the park. The oasis is reported as the largest or second largest in JTNP and is reached by an in and out trail with an optional short loop down into the oasis. The trail has crests with views of the Salton Sea, Santa Rosa, and Mt San Jacinto, with dips into arroyos where sand and water may be encountered. Wildflowers often accent the landscape that is full of desert plants, wildlife, and (surprise!) rocks.

        At 3.5 miles into the hike, the official trail ends. Hikers will have the option to pick a perch and admire the oasis from above, or hike down into the oasis for a closer look. The oasis loop is the most challenging part of the hike, as the route is steep, with loose rocks, and palm frond debris. Plan lunch for the oasis stop.

        Westward Beach, Point Dume

        to Paradise Cove Café

        When: March 28, 2026, 11:00 AM 

        Join us for an exciting coastal hike. We begin at Westward Beach, over Point Dume, down approximately 200 stairs to the sand, and proceed to Paradise Cove Beach Café for lunch. Our hike is along the base of sea cliffs and is only possible during very low tides. This is an exciting Malibu experience, combining breathtaking coastal scenery with a beachside cafe frequented by celebrities. We will have plenty of stops to look for whales, dolphins, and sea lions. When looking at the tide pools please do not touch any of the animals, actually it is against the law, and be extra careful where you step.

        The return may have to be on top of the bluff, through the ritzy, star-studded neighborhoods but preferably along the sand and back up the stairs.

        Directions: Westward Beach Parking Lot, Pacific Coast Highway to the end of Westward Beach Road

        Meeting point: Drive to the end of Westward Beach Rd. and park, $8.00. We will meet at the end of the parking lot just beyond the restrooms.

        Hiking Distance: ~5 miles total

        Difficulty: Moderate, lengthy stairs, beach walking and a short hill up Point Dume

        Bring: Water, Snacks, Beach friendly shoes with grip for stairs, Hat/sunscreen,Towel or beach gear if you’re hanging after

        Brunch: Paradise Cove Café  Credit cards accepted.

        Wrap-up: 2-3PM

        Optional: Hang out on the beach afterward! ️

        Low tide timing looks perfect, so we should have a smooth walk in the coves and around the points—just be prepared for a little bit of sea spray and beachy fun.

        Can’t wait to have this adventure with you all!

        Registration is free but required.  Participants must have registered to sign the mandatory liability release for which is part of the online registration process.

        If you register and then cannot go, please be respectful of others who wish to go by canceling your registration online ASAP to open up spaces. 

        If you have additional questions about this event, please email the trip leader at the address shown below.

        Trip Leader: Russell Hammerl [email protected]


        After our hike on Point Dume we will walk on the beach below these cliffs.


        These stairs were completed in mid 2022 for a cost of 3.3 million.  Don’t be intimidated, we will take it slow.

        Looking back to Westward Beach from Point Dume.  A west facing beach is unusual in Malibu as most face south.  Zuma is next beach faintly seen in the distance.

        Natalie Wood and Robert Wagner loved Paradise Cove and spent their honeymoon on their yacht in the cove. Perhaps we will see a current member of the glitterati.


        A very low tide is required to do this hike. There are extremely few instances of such a very low tide happening on a weekend each year.

        In the spring this prehistoric looking plant, the coreopsis, comes alive and is covered with beautiful yellow flowers. It only grows on Point Dume and a couple of points on the Channel Islands. Let’s protect it and other species by staying on the trails.

        OCLB- Hawaii Volcanoes National Park &

        Hawaii Big Island Day Hikes

        Tues 4/28/26 and Thu 4/30/26

        Hawaii is full of attractions that are unlike anything else in the world, but even among these unique wonders, Hawaii’s volcanoes stand out as truly remarkable. Hawaii Volcanoes National Park on the Big Island of Hawaii protects some of these natural marvels, including two of the world's largest and most active volcanoes.

        Come join me for day hikes at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and on the Big Island of Hawaii to experience stunning landscapes created by these volcanoes.

        Registration: Limited to Great Outdoors members

        Day Hike: Tue. Apr. 28th, 2026 at 9 am- Hawaii Volcanoes National Park

        Day Hike: Thu. Apr. 30th, 2026 at 9 am- Big Island Hawaii, local trail. Location TBA.

        Transportation & Lodging: Air, ground transportation, lodging, meals, fuel, and travel costs on the Big Island of Hawaii is the responsibility of each member. It is strongly recommended that members purchase travel insurance to insure their trip costs in the event of cancellation or interruption. 

        Fees: Day hikes are FREE.  There is a vehicle entrance fee of $30 to enter Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.  A valid national park pass waives the entrance fee. There may be parking and entrance fees charged at the trailhead of a local hiking trail on the Big Island.

        What to Bring: Day Pack with Ten Essentials. Bring a hat, sunscreen, and rain protection. Pack a lunch, snacks, and water.

        Important information

        Great Outdoors is not arranging air, ground transportation, or lodging for members on the Big Island of Hawaii. 

        Register- Please RSVP for a day hike so I know who is coming.

        I will email attendees with essential details such as trailhead location, parking, and hike mileage and elevation gain for each day hike up to two weeks before the event. 

        I am visiting the Big Island of Hawaii the week of 4/26 to 5/03/26 and inviting other Great Outdoors members to join me on day hikes on Tuesday 4/28 and Thursday 4/30/26.

        I am staying in Kailua-Kona, so if you are also visiting the Big Island of Hawaii during the last week of April 2026, reach out and let’s meet up.



        Kailua-Kona, Hawaii

        Climate- In late April, the climate on the Big Island of Hawaii is generally pleasant, with daytime temperatures averaging in the high 70’s to low 80’s F and evening temperatures dropping into the 60’s F.  This month marks the end of the rainy season, so you can expect fewer rain showers, although it’s still possible to experience some rain, especially at night.

        Questions?

        Email Michael at [email protected]

        Disclosure- I do not respond to emails immediately due to my non-traditional work schedule. I will respond to emails about this event on my days off.

        Yosemite National Park

        Curry Village Canvas Tents

        May 15-18, 2026

        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.

        These events get sold out to capacity each year!

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


        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.

        Pictured above:  Richard, Mike and Claudia half way up to the top of upper Yosemite Falls, this photo is at the top of lower Yosemite Falls.

        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!


        Pictured above:  We are hitting the Panorama Trail that will put us back to Yosemite Valley - 8 Miles.  Yippee!

        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.

        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:

        While GO is not authorized to be directly involved in coordinating carpools, we highly recommend our members to consider carpooling!

        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 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: 

        $225 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 park!  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!

        Ready for an Escape? Let’s Head to Southern Utah!


        Tired of the daily grind? Then it’s time to trade traffic for towering trees and spreadsheets for starry skies! Join your Great Outdoors friends on a five-day, four-night camping adventure in the breathtaking landscapes of Southern Utah! 

        We’ll be setting up camp at Duck Creek Campground, a peaceful hideaway nestled in the Dixie National Forest near Cedar City—just 450 miles east of LA. You’ll be surrounded by groves of aspen and Douglas fir, with ancient ponderosa pines (some over 500 years old!) standing tall all around you. 

        There are hiking trails right from camp,Duck Creek Pond and Navajo lake nearby if you feel like casting a line, renting a boat or just kicking back. One day, we’ll hit the trails at Cedar Breaks National Monument—a jaw-dropping natural amphitheater—on a scenic hike along the South Rim Trail (note: there’s a $15–$25 fee per vehicle to enter). We’ll also explore the Mammoth Lava Caves, a wild formation from Utah’s volcanic past. 

        And if that’s not enough? Zion and Bryce Canyon National Parks are just about an hour away. If you forget something or need supplies, Duck Creek Village is just down the road with shops, firewood, and a few local eats. 

        So….Let’s get outside, breathe in that mountain air, and make some memories! 

        Details: 

        We have reserved campsites 31,33,34(Loop A) 

        We are allowed one vehicle per site, however there is overflow parking which is about ¼ mile away at the visitor’s center.We may be able to park a few more vehicles at the campsite but that will be figured out when you get there. There is a fee for overflow vehicles in camp which the driver will be reimbursed. 

        Sorry because of the limited space,this is tent camping only. 

        There are no showers so bring your solar shower, however, Pine Wood resorts,which is in Duck Creek Village,offer showers if availability permits, $10/person. 

        Campground amenities include flush toilets, fire rings, picnic tables and potable water. 

        Make sure to bring firewood and buy it locally as they are discouraging firewood brought in from outside the area due to exotic pest infestation.
