Red Flag Warning throughout the Midpen area from Tuesday 11/5 at 11:00 a.m. to Thursday 11/7 at 7 a.m. We regret to have to cancel this activity. Stroll the Harrington Creek trail through coastal grasslands and a working cattle ranch with Docent Naturalists Kate Bauer, Nick Yatsko, and Mary Brunkhorst. You’ll pause frequently on this leisurely-paced hike to enjoy beautiful views, observe flora and fauna, and learn a bit about the area’s recent history. After stopping for lunch at a lovely riparian area you’ll retrace the route back to the trailhead.
