Cabrillo National Monument Hike

Join us as we journey to Cabrillo National Monument. It's National Public Lands Day and admission is free. We will hike the Bay Side, Ocean Side and Coastal Trails for a total of close to 5 miles. Meet at 9:15 a.m. at the Visitor Center and the adventure begins at 9:30 a.m. Plan to arrive early as there may be a line of cars to get into the park on a free admission day. Gates open at 9 a.m.

The Bay Side and Coastal Trails are moderate, while the Ocean Side Trail is steep and borders on difficult. Please self-evaluate your hiking level before going on this hike. There is also no shade on this hike.

Afterwards, we can go out to eat and continue fellowship.

For we walk by faith, not by sight - 2 Corinthians 5:7
