Join Tom Lee on the Stile Ranch Tr ail, located at the Southwest corner of Santa Teresa County Park. This trail is known for its native plants. With the late winter rains this hike will feature wildflowers such as poppies, fiddlenecks, salv ias and many others. The trail starts with a climb on some rocky switc hbacks, crosses some grassland and a creek before returning in a loop. The distance is 2.6 miles, and the elevation gain is 450 feet.

There are no restroom services at the parking area or on the&nbs p;trail, however there is a restroom on McKean Road just across from F ortini Road at the Rancho San Vicente entrance of Calero County Park.& nbsp;Please bring sturdy shoes, appropriate layering, hat and lunch. H eavy rain cancels.
