STEVENS PARK WALK

When: Sunday, September 8th @ 9:00 AM. No need to register. Just show up.

Where: Stevens Park parking lot, 258 Canon Drive, Santa Barbara

Join us on a 2.0-mile walk along San Roque Creek through a beautiful oak and sycamore shaded park at the bottom of San Roque Canyon. This nature trail winds past bedrock mortars that the Chumash Indians wore into the rock while grinding acorns into meal. Stop along the way in an open grassy meadow to take in views of Cathedral Peak. We will walk a loop that intersects with the Jesusita trail near the Lauro Canyon Reservoir and takes in some of the San Roque neighborhood. There will be a couple creek crossings that involve walking across stones. The water level in the creek will only be a few inches. Dogs on leash are welcome.

After the walk, you can join us for coffee, tea, and treats at Handlebar Coffee, 2720 De La Vina St.

Directions: From Highway 101, exit Las Positas Road. Drive 1.2 miles north to Calle Fresno on the left, shortly after crossing State Street. (Note that Las Positas Road becomes San Roque Road after crossing State Street.) Turn left at Calle Fresno and travel one block. Turn right on Canon Drive. Quickly turn right again into the posted park entrance and park.
