Join Judy Fenerty for a 4- to 6-mile moderately strenuous hike through the Rancho San Vicente addition to Calero County Park. Rancho San Vicente has significant serpentine grasslands as well as oak savanna, chaparral and riparian areas and striking views of the Almaden Valley and Calero Reservoir.
As part of this trip, we will search for and record a few targeted rare plant species, including woodland monolopia, Monolopia gracilens. No previous recording experience is necessary: you can also just join us for the hike!
We will be following ranch roads, some of which are rough, rocky and slippery. We may go off-road to see some species and could have an elevation gain of around 1,000 feet. Wear sturdy hiking footwear. Much of the area has little or no shade. Dress in layers and bring plenty of water! Be aware that cattle may be present.
Directions: Meet in the new parking lot with restrooms and potable water on McKean Rd. across from Fortini Rd. in San Jose. For more information contact Judy Fenerty at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. (preferred), or (408) 655-3493.
