Heads up, Humboldt:
While the county's masking mandate has been lifted, Public Health is still strongly recommending masking indoors in public, social distancing and "avoiding crowds and poorly ventilated spaces."
COVID-19 is still with us, so be sure to check the protocols at event venues.
The North Group Sierra Club invites the public to a 10 mile, medium difficulty hike in the Smith River NRA-Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park on Saturday, June 9. From the trailhead off South Fork Road, we climb past a succession of botanical communities and stunning views to about 2000 feet through serpentine and end up in redwoods at Howland Hill Road. Bring food, water, good hiking boots and a hat. No dogs. Meet at 9:30 a.m. at Hiouchi Ranger Station (Hwy. 199 opposite Jedediah Smith Campground entrance). By reservation only. Contact leader Ned at 707-825-3652 (message phone) or nedforsyth48@gmail.com. Heavy rain cancels.
