2022 Hiking Calendar

2022 Peninsula Open Space Trust Calendar

12.29.2021

Ready for a New Year’s hike? How about 12 of them! Spread out the hiking joy with the 2022 POST Hiking Calendar (complimentary). It’s filled with all-new hikes for every month of the year. In other words, a to-do list that you’ll actually like doing! 

This beautiful calendar of hikes on the Peninsula and in the South Bay has thoughtful selections to suit each month, including seasonal highlights like waterfalls, wildflowers, wildlife, and wild open spaces. Plus bonus adventures and special events like steelhead spawning, supermoons, meteor showers, and National Kite Flying Day (perfect for Windy Hill!).

Thank the Peninsula Open Space Trust (POST)—their conservation work protects the Bay Area’s natural landscapes for the benefit of all.
