Hike in Tehachapi -
The Kern-Kaweah chapter of the Sierra Club will lead a hike on the Pacific
Crest Trail at 9:00 am Saturday May 10th, 2008 near Tehachapi, California.
The Sierra Club's local chapter sponsors the hike to spotlight a little-known
section of the trail as well as the 3,500 wind turbines in the Tehachapi
Pass. The event marks the 23nd year of the annual spring hike. The six-mile
hike leaves the trailhead at the junction of Cameron Road and Tehachapi-Willow
Springs Road promptly at 9:00 am. Spring weather at 5,000 feet in the Tehachapi
Mountains is unpredictable. The temperature can vary from near freezing
to sweltering. Hikers are advised to dress appropriately, bring at least
one quart of water per person (two quarts per person recommended), and
pack a lunch. The hike will be led by local Sierra Club member
Paul Gipe.
A car pool will leave from Bakersfield at 7:30 am. For more information on car
