South Slope Walk on San Bruno Mountain (South San Francisco)
Details
RSVP by email is required to join us for the walk. Please see below.
Join Chuck Heimstadt and Loretta Brooks to explore the less visited south slopes of San Bruno Mountain with bright landscapes of large areas of grasslands critical to our resident endangered butterflies and some plants on the California Native Plant Society watchlist, such as coast iris, coast rock cress and San Francisco wallflower. We may also see onion, frits and butterfly host plants: silver bush lupine and California golden violet. In addition, we'll see Niebla lichen which occurs only in the fog belt of the Californian coast from Mendocino to Baja.
Since there are only fire roads and weeding trails on this side of San Bruno Mountain, the going can be difficult on steep and rocky slopes, so please be sure to wear sturdy footwear as this area is really only for the adventuresome. We should have time to stop at the top, so bring a snack or lunch. No restrooms per se on the mountain, except in the parking area.
RSVP via email required at [Chuckheimstadt@yahoo.com](mailto:Chuckheimstadt@yahoo.com) Numbers to be limited, so please contact Loretta and Chuck and details will be sent to you about the meeting location, and as it gets close, should rain need to cancel. Waivers to be signed on site.
