Spiders! Guided hikes, kids' activities, and open for hiking at Martin Griffin Preserve
For the first time, Martin Griffin Preserve is open in the fall for three Saturdays in October! Visit our picnic areas, bird hide, Curiosity Room, and bookstore, enjoy a hike on our 8+ miles of trails, scoop up newts in the ponds or look at shorebirds on Bolinas Lagoon through our scopes with our volunteer Nature Guides, and join us for guided hikes with local experts. We'll have kids' autumn activities every Saturday!
