4th Annual Wildflower Hike


The 4th Annual Hike or Bike was held on the San Francisco Peninsula. It started with a wildflower walk on the Russian Ridge Open Space Preserve. The weather was sunny and windy, having rained the day before. So the wildflowers were at their peak.

We walked from about 11:00 am to 12:30 pm from the viewpoint car park on Skyline Boulevard to the Alpine Lake, near where Page Mill Road meets Skyline Boulevard.

We had to shelter behind a bush for lunch as it was very windy. Then others joined us for a walk down Clouds Rest Road on to Upper Alpine Road. This walk was chosen because it is one of the few suitable for dogs. We then walked up Crazy Pete's Trail to the Broome's house.

They kindly provided us with tea, augmented by baked goods from other alumni. Over 20 alumni attended.

This was the best time of year to see the wildflowers on Russian Ridge.
