January Hike: Valencia Peak (Montana De Oro)

Happy New Year! Many people chose to be “more active” or “spend more time in nature” for their New Year’s resolutions. Come join YMF for a hike at Montana De Oro’s Valencia Peak and check both of those boxes! Nothing says "New Year's Resolution" like a tough hike in wonderful MDO!  This will be a 4.5-mile hike with an elevation gain of 1,347 feet so hiking shoes, water, a light snack, and appropriate clothing are recommended. The weather can change from the bottom to the top, so layering is recommended to avoid being too cold or hot. The hike is moderately challenging, but hikers of all ages can make it to the top so feel free to bring your family and friends!

We will meet at the Visitor Center/Ranch House and head to the Valencia Peak Trail from there. Registrants will receive a coordination email two days before the event to ensure everyone knows where to go and how to get there.
