Join LCF volunteer naturalists on this 4-mile geology hike (900-ft. elevation gain) over steep and uneven terrain. This hike is not for beginners. Hike through the oak-filled woodland of Wood Canyon and continue to the park’s highest peak. We will pass by rock formations that tell of ancient floods, landslides and the building of a great shell-filled limestone reef. Bring water, hiking shoes (hiking poles suggested), snacks, the field guides of your choice, and a sense of adventure! Ages 15 and up with accompanying adult.
