Have you ever seen a King Tide?
Join California State Parks Interpreter Jessie Looney for a morning hike during one of the November King Tides, the highest tides of the winter. We are expecting an approximate 7 ft. high tide. You’ll find out about how our Research Reserve continuously measures water depth and is a sentinel site keeping track of trends with a changing climate. You’ll also learn about our award-winning planning to adapt to the impacts from riverine flooding and sea level rise. This year, we are excited to have fellow environmental educators from the San Diego Natural History Museum and San Diego Bird Alliance; the latter will provide Spanish translation as needed.
The walk starts at the Visitor Center and will make its way over to almost the south end of Seacoast Drive and then back, approximately 2 miles round trip. This hike is geared for ages 12 and up with adult supervision.
