Sonoma & Marin - Greenbelt Outing
Ring Mountain Open Space Preserve contains some of the most unusual natural landscape in Marin County. Rock-strewn hilltops call to mind the rugged, high-altitude exposure of alpine environments above tree line. While its serpentine soils discourage most plants, those that are able to survive thrive in the absence of competition, including some rare and endangered species. On this 3-mile hike we will climb two mini-peaks, and search for flowers hiding in the grasses.
