Explore the world of arachnids with spider-loving Docent Naturalists Debbi Brusco, Jack Owicki, Vivian Neou and Ray Curiel. With luck, a tarantula may cross your path as you search for sometimes timid creatures that you might be inclined to avoid. You'll hike at a mostly leisurely pace along the Canyon Trail in addition to other trails, with an elevation gain of up to 600'. Capable, attentive children 10 years and older are welcome. Bring a flashlight (with a red filter or cellophane cover if you have it), plastic to sit on, and your meal.
Meet at the Monte Bello Parking Area on Page Mill Road (across from Los Trancos Preserve), 7 miles west of I-280 or 1.5 miles east of Skyline Boulevard. Those traveling from I-280 on Page Mill Rd. should allow approximately 35 minutes travel time.
