Moreno Valley, CA: Inland Empire Chapter, Hike The “M” and bring your own lunch

Apr 11, 2020 8:00AM—1:00PM

Location

If using Waze, type in Box Springs Mountain Regional Park. Google maps, use Box Springs Reserve (not Reserve Park). Please note there are several trailheads! Our location is off Hidden Springs Parkway off of Pidgeon Pass Rd (off the 60 freeway). The All Trails directions are also correct. There is a free parking lot that can hold about 12 cars. You can also park beyond this small lot for $5 (cash/check)...it’s an honor system. This paid parking is close to trailhead, picnic area & bathrooms. You can also park in the neighborhood just before turning in to The Box Springs Mountain Regional Park where the lots are.

Cost Free

We will be adding on a 2.8 mile loop called The Cougar Trail (325 ft. elevation gain) as a warm up before we take on The “M” which is about 4 miles out & back (1,380 ft. elevation gain) and is listed as *MODERATE* and it is a doozie!

If someone is unable to partake in this moderate portion, they can keep looping the Cougar Trail until we get back to the picnic area!

Bring your lunch as there is a nice picnic area where we can all sit together. Shell Ceremony will be available during lunch for those pilgrims who will be leaving on their Camino’s soon! Please comment if you want to be included in that!
