Gates open to the Homestead grounds at 5 p.m. – pack a picnic and stroll the grounds before the hike.

The hike begins promptly at 6 p.m. There will be two groups – for those up for a bit of rustic and steep terrain, we’ll head from the Homestead down along the stream then back up the Corniche Trail. For those looking for more even and gradual terrain, our second leader will guide a group down and back on the Corniche Trail.
