“The Longest Mile” Wildflower Hike9:00 am
Spring is upon us and EBMUD is preparing for a spectacular wildflower bloom this year. If you would like the chance to see the Mokelumne River watershed adorned with purple shooting stars, hounds-tongues and California poppies, then "The Longest Mile" Wildflower Hike may be for you!
Situated along the Mokelumne River between Valley Springs and Jackson, "The Longest Mile" is a rugged and beautiful section of the Mokelumne Coast to Crest Trail that is perched along the river canyon and boasts exceptional views. Known for its challenging, steep grades, this 3-mile round-trip trail is suitable for avid hikers and will be conducted by EBMUD Rangers and wildflower docents.
