Join docent naturalists John Seyfarth and Helena Cohen for a leisurely-paced nature hike high above the valley on Skyline Ridge. You'll explore the many delights that nature has to offer along the Horseshoe Lake Loop, Ipiwa, and Sunny Jim trails. You'll traverse multiple habitats and learn a little bit about local history, discover wildflowers, and look for animals or their signs - birds, mammals, maybe salamanders or slugs. Capable, attentive children 10 years and older are welcome.

Where to Meet

Meet at the Skyline Ridge Circle Parking Area on Skyline Boulevard located one mile south of the Skyline Blvd. (Highway 35) and Page Mill/Alpine Road intersection. After entering the preserve, turn right and go to the farthest parking area. Those traveling from I-280 on Page Mill Rd. should allow approximately 45 minutes travel time.
