About this Event
Come out and enjoy the incredible spring wildflowers on the Preserve!
During our hike we will explore and learn about the incredible native wildflower displays of our coastal prairie grasslands. Each year, acres upon acres of goldfields (Lasthenia californica) stretch out across the hills above Jenner providing quite a show. With redwood forest and the Pacific Ocean as their backdrop, there is much for you to see and explore. This moderately challenging 5-mile roundtrip hike will ascend more than 900 feet in elevation and include dazzling views of the Sonoma Coast and Lower Russian River (on a clear day!) Come join the fun and explore the headlands.
Suggested Items to Bring:

Hikers will meet Preserve staff at our Gateway to the Headlands parking lot on Highway 1, two miles north of Jenner. From there we will hike up the Raptor Ridge Trail, enjoying the blooms along the way. The destination is the display of unique CA native wildflowers blooming in the shallow serpentine soils along our wildflower loop trail.
