Start: 2024-11-15T09:00:00-08:00

We will be doing a moderate 4-5 mile loop.
Foothill Regional Park in Windsor, California, was established in the 1980s by the Sonoma County Agricultural Preservation and Open Space District to preserve open space and provide recreational opportunities. Spanning over 200 acres, the park features rolling hills, oak woodlands, and seasonal ponds.
The park offers several miles of multi-use trails for hiking, biking, and horseback riding, winding through habitats rich with coast live oaks, blue oaks, California bay laurels, and vibrant spring wildflowers like lupines and poppies. Wildlife such as deer, rabbits, foxes, and various bird species, including hawks and songbirds, can be observed.
Foothill Regional Park has been greatly supported by the local community, with volunteers contributing to trail maintenance and environmental education. The park was impacted by the Kincade Fire in 2019, leading to recovery efforts focused on habitat restoration and infrastructure improvements. Today, it continues to serve as a natural haven for recreation and conservation.

Directions:
At Exit 498 from Hwy 101, head right on the ramp for Old Redwood Hwy toward Central Windsor
Turn right onto Old Redwood Hwy and after 1/2 mile turn left onto Hembree lane. Drive for 1.3 miles and see the park entrance

As always: Give yourself time to find the trailhead so that you arrive prior to the scheduled time. That is the time we head out on the trail. It would be disappointing to miss having you on the hike due to late arrival. Please always check your email the night before just in case there are any necessary adjustments.
