2013 Schedule of Hikes
20 hiking events in the greater San Francisco Bay Area. Some even include wine!
This page presents a list of hikes hosted by Russ Beebe for the 2013 season. Every hike you see here represents some of the best hiking to be experienced in and around the San Francisco Bay Area, and beyond. And all are free to attend!
Each of these hiking events will be managed as a Facebook event.* So that you have adequate planning time, my goal is to announce each event on Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn approximately 30 days prior to its scheduled date.
Join me on the trail this season, and let's have some fun!
Yours,
Russ
