Exploring the Hawthorns Area

Enjoy a leisurely-paced hike with Docent Naturalists Bobbie Riedel, Nick Yatsko, and Ann Reisenauer to explore the history of the Hawthorns Estate, a limited-access area 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 October 31 at 12:00 p.m. (Noon) and close November 13 at 2:00 p.m.
