Say “hello” to summer with Docent Naturalists Lindsay Joye, Sabra Abraham, and Bobbie Riedel on this moderately-paced, end-of-spring hike among the ferns and redwoods. You'll traverse the Sierra Morena, Methuselah, Timberview, and Steam Donkey trails. Along the way, you’ll learn about the logging history and restoration projects that have made this preserve what it is today. Bring a snack for a brief break.

Meet at the El Corte de Madera Parking Area located on the west side of Highway 35 (Skyline Boulevard), about 1- mile south of the Caltrans Skeggs Point parking area and 2.7 miles north of the intersection of Highway 35 and Highway 84.
