Climate Warriors Weekend Explorers March 2026 Edition
Welcome to Climate+ Warriors Weekend Explorers March 2026 Edition!
Are you ready to put down the board/pipette/laptop, and go explore the outdoors? We are a group of climate tech and social impact enthusiasts who gather once a month to explore the outdoors. This month, Climate+ Warriors Weekend Explorers will head to the 6,589 acre Sunol Wildnerness Regional Preserve to explore Little Yosemite, also known as Alameda Creek Overlook, and nerd out about rocks! Come join us!
TRIP OVERVIEW:
This 4.4-mile hike begins in vivid oak woodlands and rolling grasslands that, in recent years, have also become home to some furry milk-producing residents. Watch your step for resident pies as we wander across the hills toward 100-million-year-old granite that forms the valley of Little Yosemite Valley.
The granite beneath our feet formed deep underground about 85–120 million years ago, when this region sat above a continental volcanic arc during the age of dinosaurs.
