Los Peñasquitos Canyon Hike
Saturday, November 25, 2017
8:30am - 11:30am
Join the Rock Church Hiking ministry family for a post-Thanksgiving hike on Saturday, November 25. This is a mostly flat hike that you can make as long or as short as you like which is great for all fitness levels. At the halfway mark before we turn around there is a stream, a small waterfall and a rocky area where we will do a short devo. “Enter His gates with thanksgiving, And His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him; bless His name.” Psalm 100:4
There is a $3 fee to park in the lot at this hike. Please bring exactly $3 cash since there is no one to issue change. If you do not pay the $3, you will receive a ticket so please do not forget!
