The carpets of wildflowers covering the serpentine grassland at Edgewood are renowned throughout California and beyond. Over 50 different species of blooming wildflowers can be seen on a single walk. Many of these flowers occur elsewhere in the Bay Area, but are not seen in such brilliant displays. You may also see some rare or unique plants and possibly the threatened Bay Checkerspot Butterfly!

The walks take place every Saturday and Sunday from March 15 through June 15.

All walks begin at 10:00 am, end at 1:00 pm, and start at one of the two parking areas, as noted below. The trails are gently sloping, the route is about 2 miles, and the walking pace is slow. We will not stop for lunch, but you are welcome to bring a snack and we encourage you to bring water, hat, and sunscreen, depending on the weather. No reservations are needed. Restrooms are available only at the Old Stage Day Camp entrance.

• March walks start at Old Stage Day Camp
• April and May walks start at I-280 / Edgewood Park & Ride
• June walks start at Old Stage Day Camp.
