Soap plants open their flowers in the late afternoon and evening. Join us on a search for these lovely blossoms. On this 4.5mile hike, you’ll traverse the Preserve on the Blue Oak, Dick Bishop, and Dusky-footed Woodrat Trails as you look for Soap Plant and other plants in bloom. There will be a stop to enjoy your packed meal and take in the views. If we're lucky, we may spot other creatures of the night as we finish the hike. Reservations are required:
