Spend a spring day cultivating your curiosity and enjoying the wildflowers along the headwaters of Guadalupe Creek. Join Docent Naturalists Kate Bauer, Mary Brunkhorst, and Nick Yatsko for a moderately-paced hike on the Woods Trail with views of Mt. Umunhum. You’ll help find and identify early spring blooms, possibly including some rare plant species. Bring a lunch for a stop along the way.
