What better way to spend a summer morning than exploring the cool coastal mountains? Join Docent Naturalists Sabra Abraham and Lindsay Joye to discover forested habitats, saturate your eyes with the color green, and breathe in fresh air. Your moderately-paced route will follow the El Corte de Madera Creek, Fir, and Resolution trails. Bring a snack or lunch for a break.
