Knock-Your-Socks-Off Wildflower Walk at Sugarloaf Ridge State Park

The Goodspeed trail hosts a treasure trove of wildflowers. Here's a chance to join Certified CA Naturalist John Lynch for a leisurely exploration of this exceptionally lovely trail. You will not be sorry!

Goodspeed trail starts along the cool banks of the Sonoma Creek as it rushes through a stand of redwoods but quickly heads up hill into the sunlight and a profusion of wildflowers, butterflies (and a few reptiles). This hike will only take us a couple miles with the turn around just past Pierson Rd - but oh what a couple of miles!

Meet at the Goodspeed parking lot. Tickets are $10 for general audiences, $5 for students or youth (12-17 year olds), Sugarloaf members, Sugarloaf or RFO volunteers, and free for children under 12. Tickets day-of on site are $15 and might not be available. Wear comfortable shoes, sun protection, bring at least a quart of water, a camera or wildflower guides if you have them, and if desired, a snack. Parking fees apply.
