Join Certified CA Naturalist John Lynch as we walk through the sublime beauty of sage green lichen on burgundy manzanita bark and moss bedecked oaks down to the 25-foot dramatic plunge of Sonoma Creek. Beginning at the Visitor Center, we’ll follow Pony Gate Trail’s grassy slope, into mixed evergreen forest, along Canyon Trail’s shady riparian corridor (with the promise of newts and salamanders) to the waterfall. The return takes us back uphill to Adobe Canyon Rd and back to the Visitor Center. This stroll is approximately 2 miles with 595-feet of elevation gain.Meet at the Visitor Center.
