Teaching Assistant Bill Perry (photo by Steve Austen)Welcome! This section of Phil's site is all about the really great Hiking course taught through Cabrillo College.
We are all blessed to live in gorgeous Santa Cruz County, and this unique class affords students the opportunity to explore many of it's most beautiful locations. Perfect for both new and seasoned hikers.
Hiking class is designed to be fun and challenging on terrain flat to moderately steep. Hikes typically average 6 to 8 miles on each outing. Students will experience many of the beautiful parks, trails, and forests of Santa Cruz County. Also covered will be safety rules, emergency procedures, history of the area, and basic flora and fauna.
Read nice poem by George Menges
