SPRING HIKE — BUCK GULLY NEWPORT BEACH
Sunday, April 22nd at 10:00 AM

Here’s an opportunity to join your fellow Cornellians for a refreshing hike in a little known corner of Newport Beach.  This trail is 2.5 miles in and 2.5 miles out, and is accessible year round.  Buck Gully Reserve is a natural, coastal canyon in the City of Newport Beach.  Spring is a good time for this hike as the trail follows a natural stream bed, plus it’s nice when the hills are green and alive after the Spring rains.  This unique hike offers a different side of Newport Beach, looking up to the homes of Newport Coast and out across Corona del Mar to the ocean beyond!
