The Tuolumne City museum will host a wildflower walk on the West Side trail Saturday, March 28, led by Shelly Davis-King, a Tuolumne anthropologist and specialist in the historical uses of native plants.
The walk will be from 10 a.m. until approximately 2 p.m. along a two-mile (four-miles round trip) section of the trail beginning at the trailhead parking lot and will be held rain or shine. Due to limited parking, participants are encouraged to carpool. There is no charge to participate.

Participants should wear comfortable walking shoes, a hat, sunscreen and bring drinking water and a sack lunch or snacks. The dirt trail is level and provides easy walking, but there are few shaded rest areas and no restrooms. There is a drinking fountain at the trailhead but no other water source on the trail.
Following the walk, hikers are invited to visit the Tuolumne museum to view a photo display of wildflowers and views taken from the trail, as well as a DVD of photos set to music by Tuolumne photographer David Wheat.
