Can you spot the showy flowers of leopard lilies and other deep shade, summertime bloomers along the El Corte de Madera Creek Trail? Docent Naturalists Nick Yatsko, Mary Brunkhorst, and Kate Bauer will lead you on this moderately-paced hike through the forest. After descending, the route will take you back up via the Tafoni and the Fir trails. Bring a lunch or snack to fuel your quest.
