Join Docent Naturalists Fran Keeler, Inga Buyse, Lindsay Joye, and Mary Brunkhorst for a moderately-paced, exercise-focused hike on trails with beautiful scenery. Unlike most guided hikes at this preserve, you’ll start on the Lexington Reservoir side instead of entering from the east. You’ll follow the Limekiln and Priest Rock trails with an elevation gain of approximately 1,100 feet.
Meet at the Limekiln Trail Parking Area, which is on Alma Bridge Road near Lexington Reservoir. From southbound Highway 17, exit at Bear Creek Road; turn right at the stop sign, drive across Hwy. 17 on the overpass, turn left and enter Hwy. 17 North for 0.5 miles before exiting onto Alma Bridge Road. From northbound Hwy. 17, exit the highway at Alma Bridge Road. Once on Alma Bridge Road, travel 1.2 miles around to the east side of Lexington Reservoir; the parking area is on the right just past Limekiln Canyon Road.
