It should be wildflower season now that the rain has passed and we've had some warm weather. Let's go check out the flowers at Henry Coe before they fade! This hike will cover about 8 miles, with 1 mile being moderately strenuous. We'll pass through grasslands and forest, and stop at a lake, so there'll be plenty of variety. The leader isn't back in shape yet, so plan on more of a flower-viewing pace than usual. Bring lunch, liquids, good hiking footwear, sun protection, carpool money, and maybe a camera for the scenery. Meet at carpool point #3.
Directions to LPSS carpool point #3 (Santa Clara County parking lot): Corner of 1st and Hedding, San Jose. Exit 101 or 880 onto 1st Street south in San Jose. Turn right at Hedding, and right again into the parking lot. Don't be too worried about the "no public parking" signs; they don't seem to apply on weekends.
