Due to the big storm coming our way, the field trip this Sunday, January 8 to St. Joseph's Hill with Ken and Dee Himes is cancelled.

Join Ken and Dee Himes on a discovery trip through this Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District preserve. We hope to see Coast silk tassel (Garrya elliptica) in tassel and big berry manzanita (Arctostaphylos glauca) in flower, and possibly chaparral currant, hillside gooseberry and other little treasures that may be emerging early this year. We will be hiking about 4.5 miles with about 700 feet of elevation changes with a steep incline at the trailhead.

Bring snacks, a sack lunch, and liquids for the day. Dress in layers, wear sturdy shoes or hiking boots. Hiking poles are recommended. Heavy rain cancels.
