Exploring the Hawthorns Area

Enjoy a leisurely-paced hike with Docent Naturalists Bobbie Riedel, Ann Reisenauer, and Nick Yatsko to explore the cultural and natural history of the Hawthorns Area, a limited-access location separate from the rest of Windy Hill Preserve. You’ll meander through grasslands, pass an olive orchard, wander along a stream, and see structures built in the late 1880s. You will also learn about plans for future access and appreciate sweeping views of the mountains and the bay. Reservations are required and will be accepted on or after August 15 at 12:00 p.m. (Noon) and August 28 at 2:00 p.m.
