This page is for planning the hike from Saratoga Gap to the sea.
TODO
- Confirm with Federica.
- Buy food.
- Buy stove fuel.
- Download and put the map on our phones.
X Stoves appear to be okay in the park. Also, note: "Jay Camp is close to the park store, which sells camping supplies, sandwiches, ice cream, and the best selection of beer and wine I’ve ever seen in a California state park." X All trail camps have food storage lockers :)
