Join co-leaders Ken and Dee Himes on an early sp ring outing to San Pedro Valley County Park. We expect to see some early bl ooms: Montara manzanita (Arctostaphylos montaraensis), pink-flower ing currant (Ribes sanguineum var. glutinosum), Indian pa intbrush (Castilleja affinis) and others.
The trip will be a moderate 4-5-mile loop hike on the Hazelnut Trail, through coastal scrub a nd chaparral plus some riparian woodland. It will include an elevation gain and loss of about 600 feet and is expected to last until 4pm.
We’ll meet at 10am in front of the park’s Visitor Center. Bring warm and wet weather layers for coastal co nditions. Trails may be slippery. Bring water and a lunch or snacks, and fl uids. Heavy rain cancels. For more information contact at Dee Himes at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaSc ript enabled to view it..
