We will meet at the Stream Trail head next to the last parking lot at 11:30am.  We then have a leisure walk for 0.9 mile to the “Trail End” picnic area for a picnic before continue our hiking.  If you don’t want to join our picnic, come to the picnic area to meet us before 1:00pm.

We will continue the Stream Trail at 1:00pm for 1.3 miles to reach the Girls’ Camp.  We will begin to walk up to the hill for about 300ft. in 0.42 mile.  We then take the West Ridge Trail to French Trail downhill to Tres Sendas Trail back to the Stream Trail.  We take the Stream Trail back to Parking area.  The whole route is about 5.8 miles including 0.9 mile to picnic area.  We should be able to finish it around 4:30pm.

For people want to have a shorter route, they can return to Parking lot from Girls’ Camp on the Stream Trail.  This roundtrip route is about 4.4 miles.
