Stretch your legs with Docent Naturalists Kate Bauer, Mary Brunkhorst, and Dennis Smith on this moderately-paced hike starting along the Los Gatos Creek Trail and continuing up the Flume and Jones trails. An approximate 800-foot elevation gain will bring you from a lower riparian habitat up to woodland and chaparral habitats. You'll have time to observe and learn about what influences both flora and fauna as you move from one habitat to another.
