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 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.
