Explorer Hike: Leopard Lily & More!

Wednesday, July 15, 2026

10:30 am - 2:30 pm

El Corte de Madera Creek Preserve

Approximate Total Miles

Can you spot the showy flowers of leopard lilies and other summertime bloomers growing in the deep shade along the El Corte de Madera Creek Trail? Docent Naturalists Nick Yatsko, Kate Bauer, and Mary Brunkhorst will lead you on this moderately-paced hike through the forest to look for these lovelies. After your descent beneath the canopy, the route will take you back up via the Tafoni Trail. Bring a lunch or snack to fuel your quest.

Where to Meet

Meet at the Caltrans Skeggs Point Parking Area on the east side of Skyline Boulevard, about 4 miles north of La Honda Road (Highway 84) and 1.5 miles south of Kings Mountain Road. Please note that Caltrans prohibits a left turn into the parking lot when approaching from the north along Skyline Blvd.
