The Santa Clara County Open Space Authority has recently acquired a large new property on C oyote Ridge, north of the area we have visited in the past. Join us on an e xtended exploration to see this unique serpentine grassland, a spectacular wildflower area.
This will be a strenuous, entirely off- trail hike with une ven footing throughout. The 6.5-mile round trip hike will gain 900 feet in elevation to the top of the ridge for amazing views and many rare endemic n ative plants. We may see the rare Bay checkerspot butterfly, possibly burro wing owls, and other wildlife.
Space is limited to 20 participants. For mor e information and to register, contact Judy Fenerty at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.< /span>.
