Contact For more information contact Ken at (650) 591-8560.

Join Dee Wong 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 different types of fruiting bodies and some fall color changes.

We’ll meet at the park entrance. 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 lunch about half way. Be sure to wear good hiking shoes. A walking stick could be useful. Bring a lunch and plenty of water. There is a $6+ fee per car (bring exact/extra change).
