While walking at a leisurely pace into Stevens Creek Canyon, Docent Naturalists Debbie Mytels and Ping Li will help you identify various ferns and other plants that evolved before flowers appeared on Earth. You’ll learn how ferns were a part of other cultures for many generations and how some fern parts have been an edible delicacy. You may also stop to look for newts in Stevens Creek. On return by the Canyon Trail, you'll stop for a snack at a sag pond and find yet another type of ancient plant before you return to the parking lot.
Meet at the Monte Bello Parking Area on Page Mill Road (across from Los Trancos Preserve), 7 miles west of I-280 or 1.5 miles east of Skyline Boulevard. Those traveling from I-280 on Page Mill Rd. should allow approximately 35 minutes travel time.
