What do you think of when you hear coyotes howl and yip? These wild song dogs have loped in and out of human society, and our consciousness, for millennia. Join Interpretive Specialist Katie Renz and Docent Naturalists Annette Herz and Cheryl Higashi on this moderately-paced hike to learn about the natural and cultural history of this adaptable canine in our midst and consider our interconnected futures. Bring a lunch to eat in the shade of the Backpacker's Camp. (Note: We might take a steep section down Indian Creek Trail; bring poles if you need them.)
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.
