Shabbat in Nature at Sierra Azul
Saturday, March 15, 2025 • 15 Adar 5785
9:00 AM - 12:30 PMJoin us to experience Shabbat in Nature with Clergy and Docent Naturalists Nancy Weintraub and Nick Yatsko to celebrate the end of winter and the coming of spring on the shaded Woods Trail below Mt Umunhum. You will experience the quiet of a woodland forest and early wildflowers with occasional views along the way. You'll engage all your senses as we discuss the sights, sounds and smells of trees and nature on this out and back four mile hike. Optionally, after the hike, if interested bring a lunch and we can trek to the summit (by car) to enjoy the views.
Car pooling is encouraged to the Jacques Ridge parking lot as parking is VERY limited (10 cars). Bring a snack for a short break on the trail. Heavy rain cancels.
Jacques Ridge Parking Area (10 spaces + 1 ADA): For Woods Trail trailhead. Located near the intersection of Hicks Road and Mt. Umunhum Road. Parking area is on the right. There is additional parking nearby at the Almaden Quiksilver entrance. Please check in at Jacques Ridge Parking first. Wood Road entrance | Santa Clara County Parks | County of Santa Clara. Once you sign up I will send more information.
