Winter Solstice Saunter

Reservations Required: mtdiablohiker@gmail.com

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 about 4 miles round trip with a 200 foot elevation gain.

Bring water, snacks, dress in layers, and wear good hiking shoes.

Rain cancels.

There is a $6 per vehicle park entrance fee ($5 for seniors). Exact cash required; pay at the entrance gate. 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.
