🍂Gobble Gobble🔥Turkey Fat Hike 🥾Beautiful Foothills Park🏞️ Picnic🍁

Hello Nature Lovers,
Join us for a Thanksgiving hike where we'll be strutting our stuff through nature like a flock of festive turkeys. Shake off the holiday calories before they even happen with this trot through the trails! And because it’s Thanksgiving, we’re keeping the spirit alive post-hike with a BYOF (Bring Your Own Feast) picnic in the park—so if you’re in the mood to bring a snack to share (or keep it all for yourself, no judgment!), please do!

Bounded by Portola Valley, Los Altos Hills, Pearson - Arastradero Preserve and Los Trancos Open Space Preserve, the 1,400-acre Foothills Nature Preserve is a nature lover's paradise. Miles of trails provide access through rugged chaparral, woodlands, fields, streams, a lake, and provides spectacular views of the Bay Area. Wildlife abounds, and it is common to see deer and coyotes; if you are lucky you might catch a glimpse of a bobcat.
