Take a hike !
Did you know that our city’s parkways, trails and scenic overlooks continue to grow? Did you know that Dana Point now has a Natural Resources Officer?
Jeff Rosaler is that officer, and he’ll describe these outdoor opportunities at our Friday (19) meeting. Walking is the best exercise for many of us, and the recent opening of the new Headlands Reserve is a magnificent opportunity to do just that. You can take an easy walk along the ocean side of the Selva parking lot and enjoy the gorgeous designs in the pathway, or take the funicular down to the sand for a beach stroll , and then (even better!) back up. The less agile can enjoy the level paths on the point or from the interpretive Center through pocket mouse and gnat catcher territory. Both trails offer plenty of rest stops and look-out views .
If you feel more adventurous, you can walk to some interesting caves from the Ocean Institute, exploring many tide pools around the foot of the Headlands . You might even pick up a docent guide at the Institute gate to the beach.
Join us Friday morning (February 19) and hear all about these opportunities at Jim Miller’s Coffee Importers in the harbor. As usual, we start at 830am and Jim supplies the coffee.
