Join Docent Naturalists Frances Reneau, Mallik K., and Helena Cohen on a leisurely-paced hike along the Lost Trail and back. You'll learn about binomial nomenclature (woohoo!) with a focus on the names of local native plants like twinberry (Lonicera involucrata), Pacific madrone (Arbutus menziesii), and various manzanitas (Arctostaphylos sp.). Where do all these names—both common and scientific—come from, and what do they mean?
From the intersection of Highway 84 and Skyline Blvd. (Hwy 35), head south on Skyline Blvd. for 2.3 miles. Picnic Tables Roadside Parking (Highway 35) is just south of the Anniversary trailhead. You'll see parking and a bathroom on the east side of the road and a large pull-out area (where it is okay to park) on the west side.
