Did Horton Really Hear a Who?

February 22, 2025

9:30 am - 12:30 pm

Skyline Ridge Preserve

Approximate Total Miles

In Dr. Seuss's book "Horton Hears a Who," a whole world exists atop a single flower. Join Docent Naturalists Roberta and Jaime Cavazos and Melissa Hero on a leisurely-paced hike to investigate the tiny worlds along the Alpine Pond and Ipiwa trails using magnifying glasses. What will you discover? What will you hear, smell, or feel? Bring a light snack to enjoy on the trail as you observe and engage with this miniscule realm.

Where to Meet

For this activity at Skyline Ridge Preserve, meet at the Russian Ridge Parking Area on the northwest corner of the Skyline Boulevard (Highway 35) and Page Mill/Alpine Road intersection (across Skyline Blvd. on the right). Those traveling from I-280 on Page Mill Rd. should allow approximately 40 minutes travel time.
