Join Docent Naturalists John Seyfarth and Dave Kocsis for a scenic, leisurely-paced outing at the center of the San Andreas fault zone. You’ll discuss plate tectonics, fault types, and California geological history as you explore two different preserves. You’ll also learn about local fault motions and how they may affect our future. Wildflowers and spectacular views will be an additional bonus. (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.
