Fri, 03/08/2024 (All day)Join Santa Clara Valley Open Space Authority for a guided hike at Máyyan ‘Ooyákma - Coyote Ridge Open Space Preserve!
Máyyan ‘Ooyákma - Coyote Ridge Open Space Preserve features serpentine grasslands which provide refuge for a wide variety of rare plants and wildlife, some of which have teetered on the edge of extinction. On these guided hikes visitors will learn about the native wildflower blooms and the rare Bay checkerspot butterfly population found within the preserve!
This guided hike will be three (3) miles long and have over 500 ft of elevation gain as we hike up the Bay Checkerspot Trail to the first overlook and then back down the same way (some hikes may vary, check event details). Comfortable hiking shoes are recommended. Click here for event details.
Note that on the weekends from March to May, 2024, you can only visit the Habitat Protection Area on one of these docent led tours. It's open without a tour Wed-Fri with a Butterfly Pass.
