Green Valley Falls Hike
Saturday,
MAY
21, 2011
9:00 AM BAY AREA RIDGE TRAIL COUNCIL — Green Valley Falls One of the most picturesque places in Solano County, this waterfall vies for the title of most beautiful in the Bay Area. Our Solano County Committee has obtained permission for three hikes to visit this lovely spot in the Vallejo watershed, on trails the Council helped to repair after the winter storms of 2005-2006. The falls flow all year long and it is cool and inviting even on a hot day. The hike is fairly short, but there are some steep and difficult spots. Ridge Trail Council founder Doris Klein will again lead the hikes this year. The start time is 9 am and the hike should last about 3 hours. The City of Vallejo limits each hike to 30 people. We'll take reservations on a first-come first-served basis. You must bring a photo ID, be older than 12 years old, and be accompanied by a parent or guardian if you are under 18. Register online; discounts for Ridge Trail Council members. Leader: Doris Klein Entrance Fee: $21.39 Location: Vallejo DIRECTIONS: Details upon registration. |
