Rating: Strenuous:
Miles: 20+
The Sonoma County Historical Society, along with the Fort Ross State Historic Park and Coastwalk California, is sponsoring its Eighth Annual 20-25 mile historical walk from Fort Ross School to Fort Ross State Historic Park on Saturday, June 2, 2012 for history, nature, and physical fitness buffs – Rain or Shine. We will be celebrating the 200th anniversary of the establishment of Fort Ross by the Russians in 1812!!!!
This walk is supported by Coastwalk California, as part of their year’s celebration of the 40th Anniversary of the California Coastal Act.
The walk will be led by experienced group walker, Jeff Tobes. The 2009 Sonoma County walk had 117 strong and wonderful walkers from as old as 11 to as young as 73. This walk will not only be new to us, but also a bit more adventurous. We’re all excited about bringing this to our star walkers. The purpose of the walk is threefold: to increase health through walking, to learn about Sonoma County’s history, and to promote Sonoma County.
