Winter Watch on the Ridge Trail

Winter conditions have spurred a new schedule of activities along the Peninsula Watershed's Fifield-Cahill Ridge Trail. We've lined up a diversity of hikes and bike rides throughout January, February and beyond. 

If you go--

The time is right for checking out one of our most striking evergreens (the venerable Douglas fir known as “old Doug”). Also  look for red-tailed hawks (mostly juveniles on the hunt at this time of year). And watch for newts. After months of seclusion in their leafy, dry-weather shelters, the newts might be seen now, inching their way along or across the trail to enjoy the more palatable winter wetness. 

Events range from easy 4- or 5-mile round-trip strolls to all-day excursions across the entire 13-mile route. All of them are led by one or more of our knowledgeable volunteer trail leaders, and space is limited to 20 at most.
