On Saturday, May 3rd, John Trudeau led the long hikers on the Spring Ridge and Hamms Gulch loop for a hike of about 7.5 miles, with an elevation gain of about 1400ft. Windy Hill is noted for lots of woodland and grassland wildflowers in the springtime. The day was notable for the abundance of wildflowers, good clear views, a variety of environments: uphill, sunny & warm, cool ocean breeze, level hiking on the ridgline, woods & gulch, shade, big trees, woodland flowers. Ramblers started from the same trail head and left the long hikers at the Meadow trail cutoff to the Betsy Crowder trail around Sausal pond, with elevation gain about 230ft.
