Backbone trail water fountains free#
Injury free hikers in average to good physical condition of any age are welcome. The 20 or so at the top of the waiting list stand a good chance of being activated before the hike begins in January. The first 40 applications selected are considered active hikers. Attendance is required at a Hiker Orientation the morning of the 1st Saturday in December followed by an optional volunteer led hike in the afternoon. All hikes stage at 8AM and last no more than 7 hours before returning to your car. Additionally, allow for 2 hikes on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays in May in case we have to postpone hikes for whatever reason. The hike’s 8 segments occur on the 2nd and 4th Saturday (not every other Saturday) of each month beginning in January. The only fee is when using several California State Parks parking lots. Significant vehicle shuttling is involved to avoid “in and back” hikes. The hike is led by experienced National Park Service volunteers who stop frequently to discuss the area’s unique fauna, flora, geology, natural history and cultural history. The trail stretches 67 miles and enjoys a variety of terrain. The BBT Program consists of 8 day-long hikes with averages of 8.5 miles and 3,200 feet of elevation gain and loss. The Backbone Trail (BBT) is moderately difficult. Due to COVID-19, this hike is postponed indefinitely.
