About the event
Sunday forecast high here is 78 degrees! We can enjoy exploring the lovely wooded canyon, pass by the Franklin Canyon Reservoir, home for a variety of birds journeying on the Pacific Flyway, and plenty of ducks year round. More woodsy trails, and then we go up and traverse parts of Hastain trail, enjoying some expansive views until we drop back down to join another trail in a bit of a loop back through the wooded Canyon, where we will take our break in a lovely clearing before heading towards Heavenly Pond and surroundings before returning to the parking lot.
