Hike

Join Docent Naturalists Paul Billig and Lyle Rice for a fun and educational hike along the San Andreas Fault. You'll stop to discuss the wonder of plate tectonics and examine remnants left by thousands of major 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.)

Where to Meet

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.
