Pac Striders Feb. 19, 8:30am - Big Trees Loop/Skyline Gate

Skyline Gate is fast becoming our #1 spot this winter season (meaning our only spot!). I swear we'll mix it up soon, besides I know that there are a lot of you holdouts who haven't joined us on a Skyline Gate run for a while.

For this occasion we're checking out the Big Trees Loop & Sequoia Bayview, whose passage had been disrupted by mudslides along West Ridge. 9 miles for the tour of Big Trees, 7 miles for the somewhat easier out and back on Bayview.

We still have plenty of Powerbar product left courtesy of Eric, so get it now while the gettin's good.
