Hike: Winter Solstice Saunter

Sunday, December 21, 2024

Joyce Chin

9:30 AM - 12:30 PM

Location: We'll assemble near the Mitchell Canyon Visitor Center.

Let your inner Druid shine on a winter solstice nature hike up Mitchell Canyon. As we walk, we'll search for signs of the season, including mistletoe, beard lichen, Christmas berry, and those natural tree ornaments, “oak apple galls” and “California pears.” Who knows, we might even crash a ladybug slumber party!


This is a moderate hike of 4-miles round trip with a slight elevation gain. You may opt for a 2-mile round trip hike.


Bring snacks and water. Dress in layers and wear good hiking shoes. Bring poles if you normally use them. Rain cancels.
