Farewell to Winter

Visit the coastal redwoods with Docent Naturalists Lindsay Joye, Sabra Abraham, and Nick Yatsko to say goodbye to winter. On this moderately-paced hike, you'll explore a number of different habitats as you climb through the redwoods following Purisima Creek, then along the lovely single-track Craig Britton Trail, and back via the Harkins Ridge Trail. This will be a challenging loop with some steep and uneven terrain and a rest stop for lunch. Reservations are required and will be accepted on or after February 28 at 12:00 p.m. (Noon) and close March 13 at 2:00 p.m.
