Last week some of my friends and I spent two nights at the Sierra Club's Hikers Hut in Sam McDonald County Park, near La Honda. The trail to the hut is only 1.5 miles from the main parking lot, but it seems like you are in a much more remote location once you get there. High on a scenic ridge overlooking the Pescadero Creek watershed, the hut is an ideal base for long and short hikes in Sam McDonald and Pescadero Creek County Parks, and on to Portola State Park and San Mateo County Memorial Park.
The Hikers Hut is a simple structure that will accommodate up to 14 people, though that is stretching it in terms of comfort. It has electric lights, electric stove, wood burning stove that really keeps the place warm, pots, pans, silverware, dishes, and sleeping pads. All you need to bring is food and a sleeping bag.
COST:
Sierra Club members: $12 per night weekdays; $20 weekends and holidays.
Non-members: $18 per night weekdays; $25 weekends and holidays.
Children under 10 are $6 per night. Non-profit youth groups: $10 per night per person.
There is a $5 parking fee per vehicle at the Sam McDonald County Park parking lot.
To make reservation call the Loma Prieta Chapter of the Sierra Club at (650) 390-8411 ext. 393. For more information, check their website at http://lomaprieta.sierraclub.org/hikershut.asp
