Some of our hikers at the startIt was a gorgeous and sunny Sunday morning as 25 hearty souls (and 5 dogs) met at the mouth of the San Lorenzo River for a 5 mile hike along the river and over the 7 bridges. We enjoyed a little nature, a little history, and a lot of great exercise. Wow! Snowy EgretThe birds were amazing as were the views from bridge to bridge. It was fun to have a true wilderness experience right in the heart of downtown Santa Cruz. Spotting buffleheads, mergansers, mallards, osprey, and many other magnificent birds enjoying the river right next to stores, restaurants and theaters. I hope everyone had as much fun as I did. I will certainly organize another river walk soon.
