Wildcat Creek natural history

Explore the Wildcat Creek watershed, from the headwaters to the creek and pools of the Tilden Botanic Garden. Park near the Steam Trains and take the Seaview trail to Bald Peak, and then take the Lupine trail to Vollmer Peak trail to South Park Drive. If the Botanic Garden is open, you can finish your trip with two final points in the beautiful garden area. The hike is about 2.5 miles—after an initial ascent, it is all downhill. The trail is muddy in wet weather!
