Hiking in Northern California L.E.A.D Hiking in Northern California L.E.A.D. 2016 William “Bill” Dailey Troop 21 In every walk with nature, one receives far more than he seeks. ~ John Muir, 1913 Course Objectives: Today, We will discuss. I. Hydration, essential items for hiking and basic hiking safety II. Estimating how long a hike will take III. Local council hiking programs including: Trail Trekkers, Highlander, and Rim Rovers IV. Historical hikes and the BSA Historic Trails Award. V. As many other hiking trails and hiking areas, as time will allow. Although the goal of your hiking program can be just to “get out and hike,” hikes can incorporate map and compass skills, Leave No Trace principles, nature identification, and education of an area’s historical significance. A formal unit hiking program puts at the forefront, scouting’s fundamental nature of being outdoors, cooperation, health and fitness, perseverance, and a positive attitude. Today, we will be focusing primarily on two local councils, Mount Diablo Silverado Council (MDSC) and the San Francisco Bay Area Council (SFBAC) and the established hiking programs they have. Both councils use a patch system used for recognition of completion of each hike with a large base patch earned after the first hike and then smaller rocker patches for each individual hike completed. Patches are worn on the red Cub Scout vest and/or jacket (i.e., not on the Class A uniform). Remember, that earning of a patch should not be the reason for completing a hike; rather, the patch should be a reminder of a scouting event, hopefully fun. Please request a Local Tour Permit at least two weeks prior to your hike. A copy of your Tour Permit may be required for purchase of patches.

Even a mild level of dehydration can make hiking a lot less fun. Your body can only absorb so much water at a time. Do not wait until you are feeling thirsty to start replacing fluids and electrolytes. By the time you feel thirsty, you are already dehydrated. Courtesy: Please instruct your Scouts on the need to observe and obey the regulations that are in effect in National, State, and Regional Parks. On some trips you will be given the courtesy of passing across private property. Please repay these people's trust by keeping the area free of litter, respecting their property, and leaving the gates as you find them. Clean up and pack out any litter you may come upon. Perpetuate the good turn ideal. You will probably eat your lunch at or near the summit; be sure all bags, cans, etc., are packed out with you. Essentials for Hiking 1 Water Bottle (1 liter) Matches / Fire Starter First Aid Kit Sun Protection Extra Clothing Whistle / Mirror Rain Gear Map & Compass Trail Food Insect Repellent Flashlight or Headlamp Knife Basic Hiking Safety: DON’T GET LOST! Plan ahead; know where you’re going. Bring plenty of water, 1 pint of water for each hour of hiking. Never drink untreated water. Bring a trail map with you and stick to the established trail. Choose a trail, which is appropriate for the length of time you have. Always tell someone where you are going and when you will return. Never hike alone or at night; always use the buddy system. Practice Leave No Trace and the Outdoor Code. Dress properly for the weather and environment. Keep your feet dry. Wet feet become irritated and uncomfortable. Wear sun and insect protection. Avoid hiking along roadways. Be alert to your surroundings: animals, insects, and plants. IF YOU GET LOST, stay where you are. Estimating how long a hike will take: Your average hiking speed will vary according to your conditioning and hiking experience. Besides personal differences, different trails will have a huge impact on your hiking speed. Some trails are at a higher elevation, which decreases the amount of oxygen replenishing your muscles. Sand or gravel can make hiking more difficult as well. Some hikes are more rugged, and while they may not go very high in elevation, you may constantly be climbing or descending small hills along the way. With all these considered: Most hikers will average about 2‐3 miles per hour Use this average to calculate your estimated time. Trail Trekkers SFBC This program offers a series of hikes which range in demand from all levels of hikers including Cub Scouts (6‐11 years) and their families, to more physically demanding, and more appropriate for Webelos‐age boys.

Presidio Historic Trail SFBC San Francisco Bay Area Council established the Presidio Historic Trail Program over four decades ago. The Boy Scout Historic Trail Program was first established when Scouting had an official campsite on Rob Hill, with the distinctive round Trail Award featuring the Spanish Captain in helmet. The shorter Cub Scout Trail day hike was established with its own patch featuring the view of the Golden Gate Bridge in the early 1980’s. Cub Scout Historic Trail (approximately 3.5 miles) Begin at Presidio Museum (originally an Army Hospital), and proceed southwest on Funston Avenue. Turn right and head northwest on Moraga Avenue, passing the Officers Club. Turn right at the Flag Pole, observing the old cannons and the original Spanish Presidio Fort. Visit the Visitors Center on the Main Parade Ground (restrooms and interesting exhibits here). Turn left on Sheridan Avenue; proceed west to Lincoln Blvd. Stop at San Francisco National Cemetery for prayer or meditation and acknowledgement of deceased veterans serving to our country. Continue west on Lincoln Blvd.; turn right on Crissy Field Avenue. Continue west on Crissy Field Avenue, underneath Doyle Drive Freeway, until it rejoins Lincoln Blvd. Continue north on Lincoln Blvd., and then turn right to hike north on Long Avenue and Marine Drive following the bay coast into Fort Point National Historic Site. After visiting Fort Point (interesting exhibits and films here, and great views underneath the Golden Gate Bridge), hike south up to the Golden Gate Bridge Visitors Center. Continue west, then southwest on Coastal Trail past the old cannon batteries on the western side of the Presidio. Hike south until you reach Battery Chamberlain, where Cub Scout pack members may be picked up by automobile at this point Boy Scout hike continues as described below. Boy Scout Historic Trail (approximately 8 miles) includes first half of hike listed above Return from Battery Chamberlain hiking north on Coastal Trail to Lincoln Blvd. Cross over Lincoln Blvd. and see West Coast World War II memorial. Continue north until trail on right enters Fort Winfield Scott. Continue to the right on Ralston Avenue, with the option of entering Fort Winfield Scott fields, then continue north on Ralston Avenue as it loops around Fort Winfield Scott. Turn left on Storey Avenue, then turn right and continue northeast on Lincoln Avenue. After going underneath U.S. 101 on Lincoln Avenue, turn left to hike toward Golden Gate Bridge Visitor Center. After stopping for restrooms and Visitor Center, hike 2.2 miles across Golden Gate Bridge. Troop may be picked up by automobile at Marin County Vista Point at the north end of the bridge (eastern side of U.S. 101 freeway, free direction for automobiles traveling from San Francisco into Marin County). Highlander MDSC Started in 2003, the Mt.

    Pinole Creek Watershed Sediment Source Assessment January 2005 Prepared by the San Francisco Estuary Institute for USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service and Contra Costa Resource Conservation District San Francisco Estuary Institute The Regional Watershed Program was founded in 1998 to assist local and regional environmental management and the public to understand, characterize and manage environmental resources in the watersheds of the Bay Area. Our intent is to help develop a regional picture of watershed condition and downstream effects through a solid foundation of literature review and peer- review, and the application of a range of science methodologies, empirical data collection and interpretation in watersheds around the Bay Area. Over this time period, the Regional Watershed Program has worked with Bay Area local government bodies, universities, government research organizations, Resource Conservation Districts (RCDs) and local community and environmental groups in the Counties of Marin, Sonoma, Napa, Solano, Contra Costa, Alameda, Santa Clara, San Mateo, and San Francisco. We have also fulfilled technical advisory roles for groups doing similar work outside the Bay Area. This report should be referenced as: Pearce, S., McKee, L., and Shonkoff, S., 2005.

  • Annex 18 Santa Clara County Parks and Recreation Department
    Santa Clara County Community Wildfire Protection Plan Annex 18 – County of Santa Clara Parks and Recreation Department ANNEX 18. COUNTY OF SANTA CLARA PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT Prepared by: Flint Glines, Seth Hiatt, Don Rocha, John Patterson, and Barry Hill Santa Clara County acquired its first parkland in 1924, purchasing 400 acres near Cupertino, which became Stevens Creek County Park. In 1956, the Department of Parks and Recreation was formed. Currently, the regional parks system has expanded to 29 parks encompassing nearly 48,000 acres. Santa Clara County Parks and Recreation Department (County Parks) provides a sustainable system of diverse regional parks, trails, and natural areas that connects people with the natural environment, and supports healthy lifestyles, while balancing recreation opportunities with the protection of natural, cultural, historic, and scenic resources (https://www.sccgov.org/sites/parks/AboutUs/Pages/About-the-County-Regional-Parks.aspx). County Parks are regional parks located close to home, yet away from the pressures of the valley’s urban lifestyle. The parks offer opportunities for recreation in a natural environment to all County residents. Regional parks are larger in size, usually more than 200 acres, than local neighborhood or community parks. Many of the County’s regional parks also feature points of local historic interest. County park locations are shown in Figure 18.1.

    Merry Monlux From: Kyoko Tanno-Lim Sent: Thursday, September 19, 2019 5:06 PM To: Lily Mei Cc: CClerk Subject: OPPOSE Hundal Subdivision - 45089 Cougar Circle, Fremont CA Dear Mayor Mei, I am writing to OPPOSE the Hundal Subdivision located at 45089 Cougar Circle in the Vineyard Hills neighborhood of Fremont. I live in the neighborhood and sincerely appreciate Fremont’s Staff Planners for rejecting the Hundal Subdivision development. We are original owners of our home at e, Fremont and have been residents for over 30 years. We have seen many changes over those years. I understand that some change is needed, however, it is sad to see the wildlife once more prevalent and the open spaces in our neighborhood being desecrated. We hope the Fremont City Council will deny the proposed destruction of open space in this rural area near Mission Peak that serves the city and region with scenic beauty for recreation and the conservation of natural resources. Thank‐you, Kyoko Tanno‐Lim Fremont, CA. 94539 1 Merry Monlux From: Kyoko Tanno-Lim Sent: Thursday, September 19, 2019 11:31 PM To: Rick Jones - Councilmember Cc: CClerk Subject: OPPOSE Hundal Subdivision - 45089 Cougar Circle, Fremont CA Dear Mr. Jones, It was a pleasure to meet and speak with you this week. Thank you again for carving out time for us. As we discussed, I am writing to express my strong OPPOSITION to the proposed Hundal Subdivision in Vineyard Hills, adjacent to Mission Peak in Fremont. Additionally, I am opposed to subdivisions of other lots that are covered under open‐space easements.
