My husband and I were looking to do some hiking and thought this would be a good option given its proximity to the plaza. When we stopped in the store to get more information, two people working there did not even acknowledge our presence. We proceeded to the start of the hiking trail and were disappointed by the hike which... More

This was the best! I didn't see many birds, though another visitor told me if you go in the morning, say 9 am, you see many more. But it was just so beautiful. There is some easy hiking around the center into some mountain, and the terrain changes. You go from seeing cacti to thinking you're in the Catskills with... More

Not sure what we were expecting, but the hike that goes behind the visitors center is just a short walk in the trees. Maybe if we had done the longer hike beyond the circle trail, it would have been more interesting. We saw a few hummingbirds and that's about it. The garden near the Davey residence is pretty but not... More

Nice staff. beautiful grounds. I often go with a friend and sketch on the property with permission. More

The main loop is very basic, exposed and short, however there is an adjacent trail that leads up the valley that goes on for aways under... More

Located at the top of Canyon Road, this center is great if you can go when there is an activity. There are some great full moon ones at the center and you learn a lot and have fun. Other wise, just hike the trails around there and just get maps at the center. There is really no point in lingering. More

Beautiful, crisp, snow-covered and quiet. We drove out to the center to take pictures of the fresh snowfall on Saturday and it was beautiful. In addition, Mel in the information center was cheerful and knowledgeable. More
