Sunrise-and-Wildflower Hike

April 14, 2024 @ 6:30 am - 9:00 am

Are you as excited as we are for our next sunrise hike? Watch the morning sun cast a golden glow over China Camp’s wetlands, then search for wildflower gems with fellow hikers. Naturalist Harold Hirsch will point out some of the springtime beauties, such as irises, suncups, and star lilies. 

Wear sturdy shoes and dress in layers for this early morning ramble. Bring a filled water bottle, a camera or smartphone, and hiking poles if desired. (We’ll be heading down one short, steep slope.) Please leave four-legged friends at home, as pets are not permitted on the park’s trails.
