Join Ranger Nikki to learn about plants that grow along the upper park trails and those that grow along lower areas along the creek. The route uses Spur Cross, Tortuga, Boca Grande and Dragonfly trails and a short portion of roadway to return to the parking lot for a total of 3.6 miles. The terrain ranges from flat and even to rocky and uneven with small to medium rocks underfoot. Wear closed-toe shoes and sun-protective clothing. There is NO water available at the park so please bring plenty of your own. Portable restrooms are available at the Trailhead.
MEETING LOCATION: Main Trailhead at covered picnic tables and restrooms
