Ginger went on a Mid-Peninsula Open Space District in
Windy Hill Open Space Preserve
called "Explorer Hike: Late Bloomers."
Here is the discription: Enjoy a search for late spring wildflowers and other natural wonders with docents Laura Levin, Lynn Jackson, Kate Gudmundson, and Mary Brunkhorst. You'll hike at a leisurely pace along the Spring Ridge, Meadow, Betsy Crowder, and Eagle Trails. Along the way, you'll view Sausal Pond and follow a portion of lovely Corte Madera Creek.
