Knock-Your-Socks-Off Wildflower Hike

The Goodspeed trail hosts a treasure trove of wildflowers. Here’s a chance to join Certified CA Naturalist John Lynch for a leisurely exploration of this exceptionally lovely trail. You will not be sorry!

Goodspeed trail starts along the cool banks of the Sonoma Creek as it rushes through a stand of redwoods but quickly heads up hill into the sunlight and a profusion of wildflowers, butterflies (and a few reptiles). This hike will only take us a couple miles with the turn around just past Pierson Rd – but oh what a couple of miles!

Meet at the Goodspeed parking lot. Tickets are $15 for general audiences, $7.50 for students or youth (12-17 year olds, accompanied by a responsible adult), Sugarloaf members and volunteers, and free for children under 12. Wear comfortable shoes, sun protection, bring at least a quart of water, a camera or wildflower guides if you have them, and if desired, a snack. Parking fees apply. Learn more and grab tickets here.
