Early Spring Orchard-Redwood Hike

Early spring is a beautiful time to get out outdoors and enjoy the change of the season with a hike. This easy-paced, moderate 6-mile round trip guided hike will take you on a lovely loop through mixed evergreens, redwoods, and open space habitats to the revitalized historic orchard, a visit to Camp Via, and then over to the venerable Ancient Redwood to pay our respects to this magnificent and resilient tree before heading back to the Beauty Ranch. Along the way we will see a variety of wildflowers and perhaps, if lucky, a few early blooming fruit trees in the orchard.

Bring water, hiking poles, and a snack, dress for the weather, and wear sturdy shoes for possible muddy trail conditions. Rain will cancel.
