Tucked into the hills of Fairfax, this beautiful canyon is a perfect place to find wet season delights like salamanders, banana slugs, scorpions, ferns, and even a small waterfall. We’ll also look and listen for newly arrived migratory songbirds, and see if any wildflowers are starting to bloom. This walk includes a couple of short, steep hills. Total miles: 3. Elevation change: 180'. Remember to bring lunch, and binoculars if you have them. No pets (except service dogs) are allowed. Adverse weather or poor air quality may cancel. Registration is required.
