We are looking for one or two sweeps to help with a guided hike at Sierra Vista Open Space Preserve on Friday November 24th from 7:30am – 9:30am!
As a sweep you will stay in the back of the group of hikers helping to answer any questions and keeping the group together. The actual program will be from 8:00am – 9:30am, but you will arrive at 7:30am to check in with the docent leading the hike and greet guests as they arrive. This hike will be about 1.2 miles around the Aquila Trail which is mostly flat with one short section of uphill.
What to bring: Please bring comfortable hiking shoes, warm layers, plenty of snacks and water, and of course wear your volunteer shirt.
About the event: This hike is a part of our Hike Your Pie Off event. Every year on the day after Thanksgiving, we invite the public out to the preserves to spend time in nature! This year we are offering a guided hike at each of preserves (Sierra Vista, Coyote Valley, Rancho Cañada del Oro, and Máyyan ‘Ooyákma – Coyote Ridge) to celebrate.
How to get there: Sierra Vista Open Space Preserve is located at 5345 Sierra Rd, San Jose, CA 93132. It is a large, protected area in the hills directly above Alum Rock Park. For more information about Sierra Vista check out our website: Sierra Vista (openspaceauthority.org)
