Do you know the three early spring wildflowers that match our nations colors? Join docent naturalists Paul Billig, Judy Fenerty, and Mary Bernstein as you celebrate Presidents' Day and search the trails of this Preserve for these early risers. After exploring the area around the seasonal pond, you'll head out on the Zinfandel Trail and stop for lunch at the picnic area in Stevens Creek County Park. You'll hike at a moderate pace with about 500 feet gain in elevation. Participants are encouraged to dress in patriotic colors. Reservations are required and will be accepted on or after February 7 and close February 18 at 2:00 p.m.
