2 hikes at Foothills Nature Preserve

On Saturday, July 20 we will offer 2 hikes! We are meeting with Grant from Christ Episcopal Church at Foothills Nature Preserve in Los Altos Hills at 9:30. You can choose the hike that appeals to you. Please note the special time of 9:30, which will give us a bit cooler weather.

Bobbi will lead a 2-3 mile hike to the Toyon Trail on the left that ends at Foothill Entrance. From here we take the trail around Boranda Lake, then along the road back to Orchard Glen Parking. Optional walk to the Interpretive Center from here. Toyon Trail is slightly uphill in the beginning, then downhill. You may want hiking poles. Boranda Trail is flat.

Grant will lead a 5 mile hike. He is thinking of doing Fern loop to Costanoan to Los Trancos to the bench on the ridge, then take the fire road down to Steep Hollow or Los Trancos. There will be some climbing on this hike.

Bring a snack, water, sunscreen, and a sunhat. No lunch is planned. See the  Foothills Nature Preserve brochure.

Anyone is welcome on our outings - bring a friend!

To drive yourself: Foothills Nature Preserve is off Page Mill Road, a little over 2 miles from the stop sign at the Park and Ride lot on Page Mill. Meet us in the Orchard Glen Parking area at 9:30 AM.
