Spring Wildflower Hike at Edgewood Park and Natural Preserve

Join Friends of Edgewood docents for a spring wildflower hike starting from the Clarkia Trailhead on Cañada Rd. at Edgewood Park and Natural Preserve. Spring is the best time to experience Edgewood's extraordinary biodiversity! Discover what’s in bloom as we hike through Edgewood’s woodlands and grasslands. We will make frequent stops to take a closer look at the wildflowers as well as other interesting plants and animals we find along the way.

We’ll cover about 3 miles at a moderate pace. This hike is geared toward adults and older children interested in learning more about San Mateo County’s only natural preserve.

Wear sturdy shoes and bring water. Consider sunscreen, a hat, and snacks. There are no restrooms or water available at the Clarkia Trailhead. The only restrooms and water are at the main entrance, near the picnic area next to the Sylvan Trailhead. A porta-potty can also be found at the Sunset Gate entrance during wildflower season. Please plan ahead.

All participants, including children, must be registered individually and have approved the liability waiver through Eventbrite. Details on where to meet will be emailed to participants before the event. Note that Edgewood’s many narrow trails cannot accommodate strollers.

We will still hike in light showers, but heavy rain cancels this hike.

Group size is very limited. Please cancel your reservation if you are unable to attend so others may have a chance to join us.

We ask folks to register for our hikes in order to keep group sizes manageable, but often we have a few no shows. If you’d like to take a chance, you are welcome to drop-in 10 minutes before the beginning of the hike to see if there is extra room. Unfortunately, we cannot confirm whether there will be space for drop-in hikers in advance. Thank you for your understanding.
