Guided Nature Walk
9:30 AM - Saturday, February 06, 2010
1.5 hrs
Join an MTRP Trail Guide on a free guided nature walk from the Visitor Center and learn about the history, geology, plants, animals and ecology of the park. Trail Guides choose from three trails:
1. The Oak Grove Trail leads to a small oak woodland with majestic coast live oaks and rare Engelmann oaks.
2. The Visitor Center Loop Trail takes you through coastal sage scrub, chaparral, and riparian woodland habitats.
3. The Riverside Grinding Rocks Trail leads to one of the archaeological sites in the park, where Kumeyaay Indians historically ground acorns on the rocks for food.
Walks may also include the Native Plant Garden near the Visitor Center. These interpretive nature walks are offered to enhance your appreciation of our open space and the unique beauty of San Diego’s natural environment. Walks are free, open to the public with no reservations required, and will accommodate the physical or special needs of the group.
Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes and bring along water. A hat and sunscreen are also recommended. Walk canceled if raining.
