Russian Ridge Preserve
Approximate Total Miles

Join Midpen partner, Latino Outdoors on Sunday, April 19 from 8:30am to 1pm for their annual wildflower hike at Russian Ridge!

In the spring this preserve explodes with color as the native wildflowers – primarily poppies and lupine – put on a showy display. By May and June, gumweed, mules ears, farewell-to-spring, and brodiaea bloom. Lets go see what we find!

The trail has zero shade, so be prepared with sun protection. The trail is about 2 miles long total, and has a gentle incline of about 305ft elevation gain. Its great for the whole family, but it is not ADA accessible. Stollers with sturdy/trail/outdoor wheels may work.

At the end of the event, we will have some snacks and flautas de pollo! We will also raffle off a couple pocket flower guides and LO branded gear.
