Who organized?

We will be doing the Bennett, Fall Creek, Big Ben loop for 8.2 miles in this awesome, dense forest. This is my favorite place to go in the bay area. Hopefully flowers will be in bloom at this time. We will climb about 1760 feet and also check out the limekiln's on the way back.

DIFFICULTY:
Moderate - Strenuous. My hikes usually average about 3 mph. Please have hiked an equivalent distance and pace previously.

WHERE TO MEET:
We will meet at the Fall Creek Unit parking lot on Felton Empire Road. If you are late, please feel free to catch up with us.
WHAT TO BRING:

Light snacks, layers, good hiking shoes and lots of drinking water. I highly recommend bringing an extra pair of shoes -- even clothing -- to change into after the hike.

GETTING THERE
Carpoolers please contact each other to make arrangements. We can try to arrange some carpools when it gets closer.

NOTES
Dogs are not permitted in this Park


Rain or Shine!!

    We can do this in reverse, Lime kilns first, and if ppl need to leave earlier, then thats cool too. Should take 3- 3.5 hrs to do. For Carpoolers- please arrange a spot. There is the Campbell Light Rail on Wincester Blvd. to meet if coming from LG/Campbell area which is a good meetup. Then Take Hwy 17 S towards Santa Cruz to Mt. Herman exit, then drive to end to Graham Hill Rd, turn right & go straight up about 1 mile to trailhead(on the right) will take 30 min from Campbell.
