Trail Treks, scheduled on the last Thursday of the month, provide exercise-focused hikes and opportunities to discover Midpen's beautiful preserves. On the day before Halloween, will you see bats flying out of the old white barn? Join Docent Naturalists Nancy Weintraub, Nick Yatsko, and Bobbie Riedel on a moderately-paced hike at a seldom visited area of this quiet landscape. You’ll take in picturesque views while following the Cielo and Coho Vista Loop trails and learning about new trails connecting the lower and upper portions of this open space preserve. Will they be open yet? Come join and see. Reservations are required and will be accepted on or after October 16 at 12:00 p.m. (Noon) and close October 29 at 2:00 p.m.
