Join Tom Lee and Nabeel Al-Shamma on the Stile Ranch Trail, located at the Southwest corner of Santa Teresa County Park. This trail is known for its native plants. With the late winter rains this hike will feature wildflowers such as poppies, fiddlenecks, salvias and many others. The trail starts with a climb with some rocky switchbacks, crosses some grassland and a creek before returning in a loop. The distance is 2.6 miles, and the elevation gain is 450 feet.
There are no restroom services at the parking area or on the trail, however there is a restroom on McKean Road just across from Fortini Road at Rancho San Vicente Open Space parking area.
Please bring sturdy shoes, appropriate layering, hat and lunch. Heavy rain cancels.
RSVP is required. Limited to 15 people due to narrow trails. No drop-ins please.
