Saturday November 14: Portola State Park
----------------------------------------

Length of hike: ~14 miles
Elevation gain: 1,000 feet
Meet: 8am at the Bechtel I-Center, Stanford
Driving Time: about 1hr (each way)

We will hike to Peters Creek Grove in Portola State Park.  Peters Creek Grove
is a magical, isolated grove of old growth redwoods that was somehow spared in
the old logging days.

To get there, we will begin near the park office and hike toward Upper Escape
road.  From there we will take the Slate Creek Trail until we reach the
backpackers Trail Camp, which junctions with the Bear Creek Trail. The Bear
Creek Trail takes off north and begins the 7 mile round trip to Peters Creek
where the grove is located.  

*There are a few things to note about this hike:
 1) The trail is extremely narrow and slippery in some places, 
    so it will probably be better to wear hiking boots than 
    tennis shoes.
 2) There is no water except for a creek on the trail, so you 
    should bring as much as you think you'll need for the day.

* For all trips, carpools will form at the Bechtel International Center
  unless stated otherwise. No pre-registration. (If you don't know where
  the Bechtel Center is, look at our Web site at
  http://www.stanford.edu/group/outing/ for driving directions.)
 
* Carpool passengers, please reimburse your driver 15 cents per mile.  
  (For example, a 100 mile trip would cost $15, divided amongst all the
  members of a carpool.)
 
* For all trips, wear boots or sturdy shoes, and bring lunch, lots of drinks,
  sweater, jacket and some money (parking fees, gas, perhaps dinner).
 
* Trips are canceled in the event of rain (check with the trip leader
  the day before, or just assume it is cancelled if it's raining
  in the morning). Trips may go as scheduled in light showers.
 
* The trip "leader" is a volunteer and no real leader (i.e.
  not liable for the whole group). Think of it as hiking with
  a group of friends.
 
* If you have questions, ask the trip "leader" listed or Arturo Crespo
  (crespo@cs.stanford.edu, phone (650) 723-9273[w], (650) 967-4039[h]).
