Hidden Life of the Forest

January 26, 2025

1:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Los Trancos Preserve

Approximate Total Miles

Do trees talk? Do they sleep at night? Do they sweat on a hot summer afternoon? Join Docent Naturalists Marie Faust Evitt, Ann McCarty, and Nancy Weintraub to explore secrets of the forest through a leisurely-paced hike and fun activities along the Franciscan Loop and Lost Creek trails. Bring a snack to enjoy at a rest stop. Capable, attentive children who can hike at least two miles are welcome.

Where to Meet

Meet at Los Trancos Parking Area on Page Mill Road (across from Monte Bello 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.
