Immerse yourself in the benefits of nature and witness how being outside can transform you as you wander the White Oak, Skid Road, and Canyon trails. During this moderately-paced hike with Docent Naturalists Catherine Crawford-Swent, Bobbie Riedel, and Ann McCarty you’ll explore interconnections within the natural world while deepening your own connection to the environment. You’ll also participate in practices encompassing qi gong, mindfulness, and stress reduction. The first mindfulness activity— overlooking a valley where the North American and Pacific tectonic plates meet—may be literally ground-breaking!
Meet at the Monte Bello Parking Area on Page Mill Road (across from Los Trancos Preserve), 7 miles west of I-280 or 1.5 miles east of Skyline Boulevard. Those traveling from I-280 on Page Mill Rd. should allow approximately 35 minutes travel time.
