Do you enjoy a slow walk in a valley, breezes, wildflowers, the sounds of songbirds, the taste of a Douglas Fir needle or a California Bay leaf, the aroma of Tarweed, or watching wild turkeys and California Quail hunt for seeds and insects in the grass? Join Certified California Naturalists and Sugarloaf docents for this series of meandering explorations. Each month (weather permitting) we will explore one or two of our three accessible trails-- the Creekside Trail, the Nature Trail, and the Meadow trail. Suitable for all levels and a range of mobility, these Sunday afternoon adventures will accommodate people using walkiers or wheelchairs, young children, parents with babies in strollers, as well as those who just enjoy slow walks in nature that stimulate the five senses.
Our August and September outings will focus on the geology of Sugarloaf. Tickets are $5 for adults and free for children under 18 years of age (a parent or legal guardian must accompany minors). Meet at the day use picnic area across from the main parking lot.
There will be frequent stops and opportunities for conversation, photography, nature journaling, wildlife viewing, resting, etc., so bring your nature journal, camera, or binoculars if you have them. Wear comfortable shoes, a hat, sun protection, bring water and if desired, a snack. Parking fees apply.
Ease of access: The Creekside Nature Trail is an ADA-compliant trail 0.9 miles long (roundtrip) with a slope of no more than 5°. An accessible, van-designated parking spot and an accessible vault toilet are available at the main lot. The White Barn lot has one van designated parking space and an accessible porta-potty. If further accommodations are needed, please contact
