My friend and hiking group leader, Sonya, arranged for a docent-led tour of Jasper Ridge last month. It’s the only way you can hike in the area, which is a biological preserve owned by Stanford. Here are some photos from the hike.
The large, but shrinking, reservoir.
The dam adjacent to the reservoir. Quite an interesting build.
Here’s another view of the dam, from down below.
Our docent pointed out lots of interesting things …
… including this rock with holes used by the Native Americans for cooking.
It’s a beautiful place.
We passed this giant oak on the way in and out. So majestic.
