Search for banana slugs, various other forest-loving animals, and winter’s wildflowers and other plants with Docent Naturalists Catherine Crawford-Swent, Marie Faust Evitt, and Lina Mesa on a moderately-paced hike along the El Corte de Madera Creek and Tafoni trails. You'll observe the effects of seasonal rain as well as the long-term role of water and other factors in creating tafoni formations in sandstone rock. Children who are able to hike the 3.5-mile distance are encouraged to join and enjoy this magical forested world. Bring a snack or lunch for a break.
