Join Dee and Ken Himes on a 3-4 mile hike in this mostly shady woodland of mixed evergreens including redwoods, madrones, sycamores, alders, and big-leaf maples. There are also isolated populations of Oregon grape (Berberis nervosa) here, which is more commonly found north of the Golden Gate. We expect to see early flowering plants, waterfalls and running creeks.

The hike will be moderate in intensity, with an elevation gain of about 700 feet. We will walk at a fairly leisurely pace, stopping for a snack break about half way. Bring plenty of water and be sure to wear good hiking shoes as the trail may be slippery. A walking stick may be useful.

Parking is limited. To reserve your spot or get more information, please email Dee at dee4cnps@gmail.com.
