9:30am Sunday Interpretive Hike – Easy – Scent-sational Tam! Led By John Cook
Apr 28, 2019
Sunday, April 28 at 9:30 AM from Mtn Home Parking Lot Trailhead.
“Scent-sational Tam!” interpretive hike with docent John Cook.
Mt. Tamalpais is a treasure of beautiful views and quiet places. But Mt. Tam’s fragrance is another treat for the senses. On this short walk (60 to 90 minutes), we will have “close encounters” with some of the plants that lend Mt. Tam a distinct scent. Depending on the season, we’ll stop and note Douglas fir, Bay laurel, and other fragrant species. We’ll “stop to smell” these and other plants like wild lilac and coastal sage in a natural setting. You’ll never smell Mt. Tam the same way again.
