Start your New Year with a jolt. Join Docent Naturalists Stephen Buckhout and Lyle Rice for a fun and educational hike along the active but usually quiet San Andreas Fault. You'll stop to discuss the wonders of plate tectonics, examine remnants left by numerous prior earthquakes, and learn how to prepare for future earthquakes. (Note: Families with engaged children who are attentive listeners and capable of hiking several miles are welcome on this leisurely-paced outing with minimal elevation change.)
Meet at Los Trancos Parking Area on Page Mill Road (across from Monte Bello 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.
