Bastendorff Bog--Black Friday 2019 (Nov. 29)

Bastendorff Bog Hike

 

Opt Outside on Black Friday 2019, and join us for a hike (good for working off the Thanksgiving feast).

 

Bastendorff Bog trail hike out and back, with some additional hiking in the area.

 

 The hike will start in the Sunset Bay Day Use area.  We'll hike from there, cross Cape Arago Hwy, go through the campground, and follow the bog trail out to Yoakam Point, which will provide an excellent view of Cape Arago Lighthouse (above), and a mystery feature pictured below.   We will all then return to the starting point, and those wanting a longer hike will continue hiking along the coast to Shore Acres and back.  You'll see some great ocean views and very interesting trees along the way.

 

Be prepared for any weather conditions with foul weather gear, food and water. Moderate, ~ 4-5 mostly flat miles.
