Sunset Bay/Shore Acres/Coast, Perimeter, and Pack Trails–Sunday, June 26; Requires Registration – We will start at the Sunset Bay Day Use Area and follow the Coast Trail along the shoreline to Shore Acres. Those who want a short hike can then return to the Sunset Bay Parking lot by backtracking. The addition for the longer hike is in green.
