LO SF Bay Area | Vamos Backpacking

Join us and our partners, Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District, for a FREE Backpacking Trip to Black Mountain at the Monte Bello Open Space Preserve from Sunday, Sept 14th at 8am to Monday, Sept 15th at 12pm.

Monte Bello Open Space Preserve is a place of rolling grasslands, dense creekside forests and spectacular vistas. Black Mountain offers visitors incredible views of Santa Clara Valley and over to Mt. Hamilton

Things to consider:

• This is a 2 day, 1 night backpacking trip.
• We'll be hiking 2 miles a day, with about 500-800 ft in elevation with a ~30 pound backpack.
• Backpacking gear and food will be provided.
• Unfortunately we are not able to provide transportation, and due to liability reasons, we can’t assist with organizing carpools.
• Participation is open to adults 18+, and children ages 15+ when accompanied by a parent or guardian.
• Must complete a Latino Outdoors waiver to participate.
• Packing list and itinerary will be provided after registration.
• Chemical toilets, food lockers, and water for washing are available.
• No pets.

This is considered an easy-moderate backpacking trip. We do welcome first time backpackers, but some hiking experience is recomended. The weather and extra load can make this trip challenging. We will take our time and take breaks as needed.

IMPORTANT NOTE: We only have 10 spots. And this event will sell out fast! PLEASE only register if can commit to attending. If something does come up and you need to cancel, please do so as soon as possible to allow folks on the waitlist to attend. THANK YOU!!
