Queer Family McLaren Park Hike

February 9th from 9:30am to 11:00am, San Francisco

Long time no hike! Let's get back out there with our littles, shall we? We'll stroll around McLaren Park, hitting the reservoir and maybe the water tower . Depending on the needs of everyone we could make it stroller friendly. Everything is pretty paved, so it's good for new walkers, but there's plenty of space to off-road for the more adventurous.
