Halloween hike at Bear Canyon with vegans!

NOTE: Please leave enough time for parking and prep to help us hit the trail on time at 9:30 AM sharp. Parking is limited at this location, and you may have to park on the street 1/4 mile from the trailhead. For overflow parking go south 1/4 mile on High Desert Place and turn left on Barranca Vista Ct. Let's enjoy a Halloween hike with vegans. This hike is pretty easy, but still a bit more challenging than a stroll in the park, with some short hills and uneven rocky parts. This hike will probably be about 3 to 3.5 miles, with some flexibility about the route depending on how the group is doing. Costumes are most welcome, but definitely not required. Bring water! You might also consider our 11:30 AM Halloween vegan lunch at Vegos, see separate event announcement.
