Walking the Walk

We are going to meet in the parking lot below the visitor center. We will proceed to the trailhead, which is the Indian Joe Nature trail, and then on the Canyon View Trail, which is going to take us to Little Yosemite. There, we will picnic and have our meeting. After our meeting and lunch, we are going to go up a trail Cerro Este, loop back down McCorkle trail, and meet up with Canyon View, to go back down the way we came.

We are going up to Little Yosemite from the parking lot, which is an undulating climb from 400 to 600 feet, followed by more climbing up to about 1100 feet, after our meeting, where we are going to get some nice views, then back down again. 5 miles, 700 feet, Level 2.5
