Spring Hike at Upper Salt Creek
Spring is here and that means wildflowers are emerging to shake off the doldrums of winter. Join California Naturalist Juliet Malik for a walk along the Upper Salt Creek Trail to observe and identify flowering plants. We will also talk about the pollinators that choose these flowers and why. So grab your hiking essentials and join us for some nerdy, nature-loving time together!
This is an easy out-and-back trail for most. Round trip is about 3 miles with approximately 100ft in elevation gain. We will meet at the trailhead where Valparaiso Way meets Lower Springs Road. The parking lot is very small so please consider carpooling with friends.
Please come prepared with water, sun/rain protection, sturdy footwear, hiking poles if desired, a snack, and anything else you like to use to observe nature, i.e. binoculars, hand lens, etc.
Severe weather cancels. Please fill out this form to sign our waiver and be added to the contact list for updates.
