Bay Area Older Adults Fires and Fungi

Join Midpen partner, Bay Area Older Adults, for a hike at Coal Creek Open Space Preserve. We will start the day for this winter hike at a 500 acre preserve where on a clear day, you can see views of the Bay Area. On this 2.5 mile one-way trek that has a gradual 700 foot decline and then 600 foot incline, we will walk by hilly grassland and forest which provide a mixture of shade and sun. There will be panoramic views of the Bay for the first third of the walk, and we will cross a bridge to see Crazy Pete’s waterfall. Along the way, we learn about fires – the causes, costs to society, and prevention methods – and search for fungi.

Transportation from Saratoga, CA to and from the preserve and picnic lunch are included.

Registration is required. To register, please visit bayareaolderadults.org/bao-hikes.
