Hello Ramblers!

Past Hikes

1. Wit led a beginner's hike along the Radio Ridge Loop in the Santa Catalinas, with a stop at Lemmon Rock. They saw a variety of impressive trees, and also hiked near the ski area. 10 people went on the hike.
2. Kyle went on a moonlight hike on Tuesday in Malibu Canyon, near Malibu, California.
3. Wolfgang went on a hike in the Santa Catalinas on Saturday. The hike started at the Butterly Trail, then down the Davis Spring Trail, past some petroglyphs near Petroglyph Spring. Beyond Araster Spring, the trail was overgrown, and to get down the creek to the pools, one has to bushwack. Also, there were lots of wildflowers and a great sunset.
4. Liz and 4 others went on a hike up Florida Canyon to Florida Saddle, until they encountered rains. Also, they saw lots of wildflowers.
