Description: We have not done this for a while! This month we hope to see the wildflowers, as a result of those winter rains. Great views and great company! We may have several walk leaders to accompany walkers and accommodate various levels of distance and walking pace. There is always the option to turn around. It is 1 1/2 miles to the first bench and a bit further to the next bench. Before we start out, we will discuss the options and plan accordingly.
