Hike

Explore the redwoods in search of banana slugs, slime molds, and other inhabitants of the wintertime forest with Docent Naturalists Lindsay Joye, Sabra Abraham, and Nick Yatsko on the El Corte de Madera Creek, Resolution, Fir, and Tafoni trails. What fun, slimy, intriguing organisms will you meet? This moderately-paced hike includes a brief lunch stop.

Where to Meet

Meet at the Caltrans Skeggs Point Parking Area on the east side of Skyline Boulevard, about 4 miles north of La Honda Road (Highway 84) and 1.5 miles south of Kings Mountain Road.  Please note that Caltrans prohibits a left turn into the parking lot when approaching from the north along Skyline Blvd.
