Measure AA: Summer Morning Hike

June 22, 2024
10:00 am - 12:00 pm
La Honda Creek Preserve
Approximate Total Miles
2.5

In recognition of the 10th anniversary of Measure AA, join Docent Naturalists Kim Borick and Judy Sencenbaugh for a leisurely-paced walk at this historic cattle ranch at lower La Honda Creek. Along the Measure AA-funded Grasshopper Trail you’ll experience stunning grassland vistas (quite possibly in the company of grazing cattle) and shaded redwood forest. From there you will visit the ponds in the former cattle staging area and learn about the restoration activity underway at this pastoral preserve.

Where to Meet

Meet at the Sears Ranch Road Parking Area off Highway 84 in La Honda. From Highway 280, exit Sand Hill Road and head west. Turn right onto Portola Road; make a sharp left onto CA-84 West. Turn right onto Sears Ranch Road (13.6 miles). From Highway 1, take CA-84 East/La Honda Road/San Gregorio Road and turn left on Sears Ranch Road (9.2 miles).
