Bird and Nature Outing at Castlewood Canyon

Join us for an adventure along grasslands, oak scrub, and the Canyon View Nature Trail! Enjoy a smooth, paved path with breathtaking canyon overlooks, benches for rest, and accessible bathrooms along the 1.4-mile loop. We hope to see and hear wrens, hummingbirds, swallows, raptors, bluebirds, chickadees, and more. End your outing with an optional visit to the visitor center to learn about the area’s natural history and wildlife.
