Enjoy a moderately-paced hike through two preserves, a county park, and a state park with Docent Naturalists Mary Brunkhorst, Kate Bauer, and Nick Yatsko. You’ll walk through mixed evergreen forest along the Saratoga Gap Trail and a portion of the Bay Area Ridge Trail. Crossing over to the sunnier side of the ridge, you’ll return through grasslands along the Achistaca Trail and finish the hike by way of the Skyline-to-the-Sea Trail. You'll enjoy lunch at a scenic spot along the trail.
