Trail to Bay Hike with Living Coast Discovery Center: Church Canyon
June 12, 2022
A patch of nature located within the confines of a neighborhood, Church Canyon is a great example of how visiting nature can be as easy as walking into our own backyards. With water and geologic features, Living Coast Discovery Center will discuss the history of the canyon and how they know this based on what is being seen. Depending on the time of year, you might even get a chance to witness the chalk dudleya sprouting its protective blossoms.
