Valentines Day is just around the corner and, not coincidentally, many animals act on their "spring feelings" around the same time. Docent Naturalists Annette Herz, An Scharlaken, Jan Hintermeister, and Melissa Hero will explore the different adaptations nature deploys for procreation as you hike along the Fir and Tafoni trails. Some species’ tactics will likely be familiar to you while other species' will be very, very different! Bring a lunch to enjoy and be prepared for wintery redwood temperatures. (Notes: Please evaluate if this guided activity is appropriate for your child due to the content being about mating and procreation; heavy fog or light rain will not cancel this hike.)
Meet at the El Corte de Madera Parking Area located on the west side of Highway 35 (Skyline Boulevard), about 1- mile south of the Caltrans Skeggs Point parking area and 2.7 miles north of the intersection of Highway 35 and Highway 84.
