[Leica] [LRflex] IMG: Purisima Creek - First Visit

[rgacpa at gmail.com (Robert Adler)]

Highway 1. Go south past the 92 intersection (back to 101) in Half Moon
Bay. Go south about 4mi. and turn left on Verde Rd. When you come to a
fork, don't bear right but straight ahead (Higgins Rd. I think). After a
few miles past beautiful horse ranches, the entrance will be on your right.
Only about 5 cars fit, so you'll have to park on the road most likely.

I stayed on the Purisima Creek Trail, which is very easy and beautiful (at
least for the first mile I saw!). There are other more rigorous trails that
I may eventually try. No dogs; only horses and bicycles allowed.

Hope you make it Aram; well worth a visit,
Bob
