Experience the delight of discovering early blooming wildflowers with Docent Naturalists Kate Bauer, Mary Brunkhorst, and Dennis Smith on this moderately-paced hike along the Zinfandel Trail. Milkmaids, poppies, and hound's tongue are a few of the flowers you may encounter. Your lunch break will be at picnic tables under a canopy of mature sycamore trees before you head back along the same route.
