Explorer Hike: Up Above

Join Docent Naturalists Nick Yatsko, Kate Bauer, and Mary Brunkhorst on a moderately-paced hike at this seldom visited, upper area of this preserve. Following the Cielo and Coho Vista Loop trails, you’ll take in picturesque views, stroll by a recently restored 165-year-old barn, and visit an old-growth redwood tree. Pack a snack or lunch. Reservations are required and will be accepted on or after October 22 at 12:00 p.m. (Noon) and close November 4 at 2:00 p.m.
