Join Docent Naturalists Lindsay Joye and Chris MacIntosh to explore signs that winter is here. You'll view dusky-footed woodrat nests and plants displaying early signs of new growth. While hiking along the Blue Oak and Dick Bishop trails you’ll take in the views from the top of the ridge on this moderately-paced loop outing with an elevation gain of over 600 feet.
