About this Event
Our hike takes us along high ridges, across rolling valleys, and through deep canyons in Shell Ridge Open Space. Along the way, we'll enjoy great vistas, springtime flora, fossils from a prehistoric sea, and a vernal pond or two.
Shell Ridge was saved from development in the 1970s through the work of local citizens groups. Greenbelt Alliance partners with local groups today to help preserve our open space and make the Bay Area resilient to a changing climate.
