Mindfulness Hiking

June 7, 2024
10:00 am - 1:30 pm
Monte Bello Preserve
Approximate Total Miles
3.5

Come with an open mind to practice a unique way to spend time in nature: using your senses to deliberately and mindfully experience the natural world. On this leisurely-paced exploration with Docent Naturalists Ann McCarty and Marie Faust Evitt you’ll complete a loop on the White Oak, Skid Road, and Steven's Creek Nature trails. Part of the activity will include an opportunity for a safe "solo" hike to integrate some of the techniques and approaches you learned earlier in the day. Bring a snack to enjoy in the cool shade along the way.

Where to Meet

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.

To ensure your experience on a docent naturalist outing is enjoyable please review these activity guidelines.

If your activity requires registration, please be sure to cancel your reservation (from your confirmation email) if you are no longer able to attend so others can participate.
