Bay to Bay Hike | El Corte de Madera Creek Preserve

Join us on a guided hike in the beautiful Santa Cruz Mountains! We’ll hike along El Corte Madera Creek and the Tafoni and Methuselah trails being intrigued by banana slugs, marbled murrelet, rainbow trout, tafoni sandstone formations, and a 1,835-year-old redwood. This is part of an annual series of 12 hikes where we visit a different biome each month.
