About the event

Reservation Required: Onesuperhiker@aol.com  Limited to 15 participants


We'll start the evening at Mitchell Canyon listening for bird calls. As twilight approaches we plan to be in the upper portion of White Canyon looking for Bats flying low overhead. Next comes the sounds of the Common Poorwill & Owls. The returning walk in the dark may turn up some interesting wildlife! 


Bring a flashlight, binoculars, liquids, and hiking poles if you use them. Please dress for the weather. The hike is about 3 + miles round trip, with some elevation gain.


Fee: $6 per vehicle/$5 for seniors, exact change only - no coins please (self-pay) at the entrance to the Park, by the stop sign. You may also pay digitally by scanning the QR code on the sign near the entrance gate or Visitor Center; or text CA2902 to 53242. No app is required.


Leader(s): Dan Sandri & Leslie Contreras
