Hike

Explore how plants survive in our long dry summers with Docent Naturalists Sabra Abraham, Lindsay Joye, and John Seyfarth. Hike a moderately-paced loop on the Blue Oak, Dick Bishop, Polly Geraci, and Cordilleras trails and discover the variety of adaptations local flora use to thrive in our Mediterranean climate.

Where to Meet

Turn left (north) on Crestview Drive, then immediately turn left on Edmonds Road. Follow Edmonds Rd. to the preserve parking lot entrance on the right.
