April First Fool's Day Urban Trail Hike Marian Bear 4 miles

Relatively easy mostly flat trail hike after initial short steep access down from the cul-de-sac at Protected content

Wonderful initial forest-type canopy over the wide dirt trail alongside a little creek with ponds, until coming out into the main broad hiking trail in the center of San Clemente Canyon/Marion Bear Park.

Many huge sycamores and oaks in this City open-space park with a wide main trail and small stream with some ponds that may have minnows and some orange crawdads if you are lucky/observant enough and go in the wetter season.

Great place to exercise walk and commune with nature for a little while as we tune out any noise from H52 which runs along the North side of San Clement trail or into any bushes so we don't touch it.

Early parking in the cul-de-sac, later comers please park up the hill by Capehart St. Please don't block anyone's driveway.

Dress appropriate for the weather/temp ( any rain cancels ) and wear comfortable walking shoes. Bring a bottle of water and your camera, hat and sunscreen, binos if you like to see birds up close.

Park bathroom is about halfway along this hike. None at trailhead.
