Wildflower hikes

The Santa Clara Valley

Open Space Authority is offering hikers the chance to explore Coyote Ridge Open Space Preserve during peak wildflower season.

Coyote Ridge comprises 1,831 acres located in the Diablo Range foothills in southern Santa Clara County. The preserve offers wildflower displays paired with views of the Coyote Valley. The rare serpentine grassland provides critical habitat for over a dozen threatened and rare species.

The lower area contains about 2.5 miles of trail with minimal incline for easy hiking. Those interested in a longer hike can trek up the Coyote Ridge Trail t a 5- to 8-mile round trip that includes a steep 900-foot elevation gain over 2 miles.

Registration is required to eventbrite.com, and attendees will be checked in upon arrival. Directions will be provided after registration, as well self-guided, interpretive trail map. Social distancing protocols will be observed.
