Description

This is a wonderful shady nature walk along a pretty little stream. I took my two grandsons (2 and 8 yrs old) and they loved it. Just follow the frequent signs for the nature walk and you can't get lost. There trail is meandering and has a bit of elevation gain here and there.

Highlights along the trail include a wide variety of lush vegetation, butterflies, lizards, rock hopping in the stream, big spectacular oaks, a cool bridge over the stream, and lots more. Note that there is poison oak around, so you should keep an eye on any family members wandering off the trail.
