Bring water, a bag lunch, and dress in layers

Join fellow enthusiastic hikers for a walk in the beautiful Huddart Park. Walks are usually about 5 miles and easy to moderate in degree of difficulty. This is one of our favorite group activities of the year, and a lovely way to connect and make friends along the way.

Please join us at the Ananda Palo Alto Community (240 Monroe Drive, Mountain View CA) by 7:45 am if you would like to carpool. We will leave promptly at 8:00 am. If you would prefer to meet us at the trailhead, email Lakshmi at lakshmi@anandapaloalto.org for location information
