Springtime in Waddell Valley is freaking amazing. Scott Peden will show you why on this four-mile hike through Rancho del Oso, site of the Annual Wildflower Weekend April 26-27. Start at the gate across from the Waddell Beach parking lot with lunch, energy and water, and prepare to be amazed.
Here's what Scott says we may see:
Sticky Monkey Flower, Orange
Lizardtail
California Bluebush, our largest Ceanothus
Giant Vetch
Douglas Iris
Morning Glories
Bluedicks
Indian Paintbrush
Nightshades
Beeplant
Watercress
Adds Scott, "We have a chance of the San Francisco collinsia being in bloom. Last year it was the largest carpet of it anyone there could recall."
3600 Highway One (17 miles north of Santa Cruz). 10am. Free.
