Read an article about the new National Geographic Santa Cruz area map.
The two-sided, rip- and waterproof "Trails Illustrated: Big Basin/Santa Cruz Parks and Preserves" map features topographic information and trail names and mileage, as well as contact information for public parks agencies. And in a nod to the reality of who handles much of the day-to-day business of area state parks, the Friends of Santa Cruz State Parks logo and information are featured prominently. Other organizations called out on the map include Sempervirens Fund, Mountain Parks Foundation, Land Trust of Santa Cruz County and Peninsula Open Space Trust.
Join us for the launch of a map that highlights the adventure and beauty for which Santa Cruz is so beloved. Beer, wine and light appetizers are provided for your enjoyment.
Hotel Paradox, 611 Ocean Street, Santa Cruz. 6pm. Free.
