Ramble along multiple trails on a "Lucky Seven" route with Docent Naturalists Nancy Weintraub, Catherine Crawford-Swent, and Marie Faust Evitt. This moderately-paced, seven-mile, 700-foot elevation gain, exercise-focused hike will take you along the Lower Meadow and Rogue Valley trails to the pond. You’ll then continue up the "one mile hill" on the Upper Rogue Trail and traverse beneath the oak and bay canopies up to the High Meadow Trail. After absorbing a view of the bay and a brief snack stop you’ll turn onto the Wildcat Loop Trail and follow it down Wildcat Creek to enjoy the flowing water. Finishing the loop, you’ll continue on the Lower Meadow Trail past Deer Hollow Farm to the parking lot. Heavy rain cancels.
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.
