Special Doors Open Peninsula Docent Guided Nature Walk at Alta Vicente Reserve
June 17, 2023 @ 9:00 am
As we explore the native coastal sage scrub habitat, we will also have the unique opportunity to see
concrete observation stations built in the late 1920s to support the 14” guns at Ft. Macarthur, view what remains
of a dual 6” gun battery built during WWll and visit one of the best preserved Cold War-era Nike missile launch
sites in the country. Moderate to Strenuous. (Meet in front of the RPV City Hall flagpole area) This is a moderate
to strenuous hike and sturdy shoes are recommended. Admission is free and open to all. The theme of this
nature walk is “Military History”.
In addition to the hike, visitors can access the Nike Missle Silo #55 Entrance from 9am to noon. Visitor’s will need to sign a liability waiver before entering the silo’s steep entrance stairs, handicap accessibility is not available.
