Calling all the early birds for a great hike. Watch the sun come up over the bay. We will take the route to the south gate and back thru the meadow loop about 6 miles. Dress in layers and bring water, snacks and sunscreen. We can stop and take a break and enjoy the scenery. This is very relaxing and uncrowded pace. The early start time allows us time to get to a good spot to watch sunrise. Don't forget to bring your camera!
