HARVEST PLANT WALK
November 22, 2014 @ 10:00 am - 12:30 pm
Take in the breathtaking beauty of the back side of the Catalina Mountain range, spectacular in early-winter light. There may be water flowing in various washes in the park too, if early winter rains have blessed us. Observe plant life less common on the valley floor (~2000′) at this higher elevation (~3000’+) in the foothills and washes of the mountains, including elderberry, ash, sycamore and cottonwood trees, and huge, ancient mesquites. Enjoy the colors, smells, and textures of this lovely season. Autumn colors may be on display for the viewing too!
