Explore these recently optioned (but not yet open to the public) lands. There are no trails and star thistle is very common, so long pants, water, snacks and good boots are recommended. Parts of these lands will soon be part of the Bay Area Ridge Trail and excellent views of bay, marsh, creeks and grasslands abound. We are assured of seeing some wildlife. Each hike will go to another corner of these ranches. Heavy rain cancels. Meet at 9 a.m. at the Park and Ride at the Hiddenbrooke Parkway exit of I-80. We will carpool to the trailhead.
