4th Hike - Coal Mine Ridge

Hi everyone!  I'm looking forward to seeing you this Saturday for our fourth hike at Coal Mine Ridge.  I just checked the trail today and the wildflowers are gorgeous!  Check out the pic for a sneak preview of two lovelies we should see plenty of - Houndstongue (Cynoglossum grande) and Indian Warrior (Pedicularis densiflora).


The Coal Mine Ridge parking lot is at the intersection of Alpine Road and Willowbrook Road in Portola Valley, CA.  However, it's a tiny parking lot, so we will meet at the park and ride off of 280 and Page Mill Road (technically in Los Altos) and caravan over.  There are spaces for overflow parking if absolutely necessary, but I happen to know there's another hike at the preserve that same day that ends at 1 PM, so hopefully we can swoop in and take all their parking spaces.


I'm taking votes for our last hike...#5...would you prefer Sweeney Ridge or Sunol Regional Wilderness?

 Here's a great pic Emelie took of our last hike.


I very much look forward to seeing you soon!
