Wildflower Walk April 16, 2011

This Preserve is often known throughout the Bay Area for its spring wildflower display. Join docents Paul Billig, Debbi Brusco, Katherine Greene, and Madeline Brane as you take a leisurely afternoon stroll through the grasslands and woodlands to see the different varieties of wildflowers found there. The hike will cover 4 miles and about 300 feet of elevation gain along the Ancient Oaks, Mindego, and Ridge Trails, with a stop on Borel Hill. (Note: Parking is often difficult this time of year, so carpool with your friends if possible.) Where to meet: Meet at the Russian Ridge Preserve parking lot on the northwest corner of the Skyline Boulevard (Highway 35) and Page Mill/Alpine Road intersection (across Skyline Blvd. on the right). Those driving from I-280 on Page Mill Rd. should allow approximately 35 minutes travel time.
