Trail Work Day-Hunting Hollow

We will probably be working on the Cullen Trail with McLeods and picks. Over the years this trail has become overgrown and washed out in places so it needs to be cleared and widened. Please arrive on time as we will have to head out early to get to the work site. There will be about an hour hike uphill to get to the work site and probably less than an hour hike to get back. We will take vehicles to the Woodchopper Spring area and hike in from there. We will probably stop work around 1pm so we will… Show more have time to hike back out to the vehicles. We will do the trail work rain or shine unless there is heavy rain on the day of the trail work. It will also depend on the road being passable by vehicles. We might work somewhere else if the road is not passable. Coffee and donuts will be provided before the work begins but since we have to travel to get to the work site, please arrive early so you have time to enjoy them. Be there by 8am if you want coffee and donuts as we plan on leaving by 8:30am. Bring work gloves, sturdy shoes or boots, water, and a lunch. Work tools will be provided. Please meet in the Hunting Hollow parking lot and be ready to depart by 8:30am. Call Chere Bargar at (408) 683-2247. Getting There--The Coe Park Hunting Hollow entrance is located on Gilroy Hot Springs Road, the same road you take to get to Coyote Reservoir. To get to the entrances, take Highway 101 to Gilroy (which is about 10 miles south of Morgan Hill and 25 miles south of San Jose). The distance from 101 to the Hunting Hollow entrance is about 9 miles. Take the Leavesley Road exit (County Road G9) and head east. After about 1.8 miles, turn left (north) on New Avenue; go a little over half a mile and then turn right (east) on Roop Road. About 3.3 miles up Roop Road, you'll pass the Coyote Reservoir Road on the left. The Hunting Hollow entrance is about 3.3 miles past the Coyote Reservoir Road turnoff.
