Enjoy trails along the waterways with Docent Naturalists Nancy Weintraub, Anouchka Gaillard, and Peter Maxwell. This moderately-paced, exercise-focused hike will traverse riparian, oak woodlands, and chaparral habitats on the Rogue Valley and High Meadow trails and will return via the trails along Wildcat Creek. Will there be water in the pond? Will there be water in the creek? Come find out. Bring a snack to enjoy on the trail. (Note: This activity is for individuals comfortable climbing 850 feet with a "long distance hiking" pace of 2.5 miles per hour.)
Meet near the restroom at the bottom of the hill in the preserve parking lot farthest to the right. From I-280, take Foothill Boulevard south and turn right almost immediately onto Cristo Rey Drive. Continue about 1 mile, veer right around the traffic circle, and turn left into the park. After entering the preserve, turn right and drive approximately 0.3 miles to Lot 6.
