If you always wanted to be a hiker but didn’t know where to start, Hiking 101 was made with you in mind. An optional 8-10AM hike will warm you up for the main event from 10AM-12PM, where your guide Dana Hunter will teach you everything you need to know to continue your hiking journey: mindful preparation, choosing trails appropriate for your fitness level, and what gear you’ll need to get started. Dana’s hiking hacks and drawings will help you jump into the hobby of a lifetime!

The first 15 groups to sign up will receive a free goodie bag from Mother’s Market (one bag per group)! Bring $15 to pay for parking and an optional fold-out chair to lounge in during presentations.

Dana, a long time Crystal Cove State Park volunteer, has been hiking for over 30 years. Among many other accomplishments, she’s summited Kilimanjaro, Mt. Fuji, and Mt. Whitney.
