Come with an open mind to practice a unique way to spend time in nature: using your senses to deliberately and mindfully experience the natural world. On this leisurely-paced exploration with Docent Naturalists Ann McCarty, Marie Faust Evitt, and Diane Maez you’ll complete a loop on the White Oak, Skid Road, and Steven's Creek Nature trails. Part of the activity will include an opportunity for a safe "solo" hike to integrate some of the techniques and approaches you learned earlier in the day. Bring a snack to enjoy in the cool shade along the way.
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.
