Dave Manville will lead this month’s hike. We’ll use Smith School as our starting point (SW 52^nd Ave & Marigold St.), traveling through four natural areas—Dickinson Park, Ashcreek Natural Area, Maricara Park and Woods Park—as well as along several of our SW connector trails. The hike is about 6.25 miles with an elevation change of 250 feet.

We will meet behind the bleachers at Wilson High School (SW Sunset Blvd. and Capitol Highway) and be ready to go by 9:00 am (we’ll carpool to Smith School). Feel free to meet us directly at the start point—Smith School—we’ll be there by 9:15 am.  Bring a snack, water, good footwear, sunglasses and dress for the weather.  Well-behaved dogs are allowed. They must be on leash.  For health reasons, there is no smoking on SWTrails walks.
