Experience the delight of observing a rainbow of wildflowers with Docent Naturalists Kate Bauer, Nick Yatsko, and Bobbie Riedel on this moderately-paced hike along the Zinfandel Trail. Clarkia, poppies, and globe lilies are a just a few of the native California blooms you may encounter. You’ll rest for lunch at picnic tables under a canopy of mature sycamore trees before returning along the same route.
