Black South Bay April Hike at Lookout, Redwood, Orchard, Creek Trails

Black South Bay is back with another hike! And we're thrilled to have one of our hikers, Edwin, lead this one 🙌🏾 We'll venture through the Lookout, Redwood, Orchard, and Creek Trails, a beautiful 2.5-mile loop with about 725 feet of elevation gain. This is considered a moderate hike and typically takes about 1.5 to 2 hours at a relaxed group pace.

Along the way, expect a mix of shaded forest sections, redwood-lined paths, and a few more exposed areas, especially along parts of the Orchard Trail. Since the route includes some inclines and uneven terrain, we recommend wearing hiking shoes with good grip and bringing water and a light snack.

This hike is a great opportunity to enjoy nature, get some movement in, and connect with others in the community.
