Join co-leaders Ken and Dee Himes on an early spring outing at San Pedro Valley County Park. We expect to see some early blooms: Montara manzanita (Arctostaphylos montaraensis), pink-flowering currant (Ribes sanguineum glutinosum), fetid adder’s tongue (Scoliopus bigelovii), Oregon windflower (Anemone oregana) and others.
The trip will be a moderate 4-5 mile loop hike through coastal scrub and chaparral plus some riparian woodland. It will include an elevation gain and loss of about 600 feet and is expected to last until 4pm. For more information contact at Dee at This email address is being protected from spambots.
