Revel in the views of the ocean and forested valleys along the Ipiwa Trail with Docent Naturalists Mary Brunkhorst, Nick Yatsko, and Inga Buyse. You’ll take a leisurely-paced journey through a mosaic of habitats including chapparal, mixed evergreen forest, and oak woodlands on your way to a lunch stop at Alpine Pond. Head back via Sunny Jim and Ridge trails with a stop at Horseshoe Lake.
