Join Docent Naturalists Liz F. and Marie Faust Evitt for a morning hike to explore what winter brings. You'll observe a variety of plant communities with a diversity of tree species and local animal signs such as dusky-footed woodrat nests. Your route includes the Blue Oak, Dick Bishop, and Dusky-footed Woodrat trails, among others. At the top of the ridge, you'll be rewarded with a scenic view of the surrounding hills and the San Francisco Bay. This will be a moderately-paced hike with an elevation gain of about 600 feet and uneven terrain. No dogs please.
