Summer CNPS hike from Rock Spring to West Point Inn

Saturday, June 21, 2008
10:00 AM to 1:00 PM

Take a hike and hunt for some of Marin's loveliest native plants with Joe Kohn and the Marin chapter of the California Native Plant Society.

Saturday, June 21 10 a.m.

As Summer arrives, so do some of Marin's loveliest plants, including the precious and gorgeous Lilium pardalinum (Leopard Lily). Those plants can be found in some of the riparian zones on upper Mt Tam, and if they're already gone by June 21st, we'll just have to settle for a really easy hike with views that people travel from all over the world to see. We'll meet at the Rock Spring Parking Lot on Mt Tamalpais, located at the intersection of Ridgecrest and Pantoll Roads, approximately 1 mile uphill from the Ranger Station at Pantoll. For those unfamiliar with the area, Pantoll is located on Panoramic Hwy. The road uphill to Rock Spring is directly across the road from the Pantoll Ranger Station. There is no charge to park at Rock Spring. For the Summer CNPS hikes, please come prepared for any type of weather or conditions, dress in layers and bring wind protection, just in case. Although it may be sunny and warm when you leave home, the weather in West Marin could be cold and foggy. Please be prepared. Bring lunch and plenty of water, binoculars and/or hand lenses and your favorite field guides.
