Bird-watching and native plant hike along the Edison Trail with Kathi Ellsworth and Lyle Hatridge. Meet at the intersection of Loma Alta Drive and Camp Huntington Drive, just east of the bridge (click here for directions).
Learn about birds and native plants in Rubio Canyon with Kathi Ellsworth of the Pasadena Audubon Society and AFC docent Lyle Hatridge. Many bird species have been observed in the Altadena foothills, including the red-shouldered and red-tailed hawk, the merlin, the wrentit, the northern mockingbird, the California thrasher, the California quail and the mourning dove. Remember to bring binoculars. The trail is about a mile each way with a 500 foot elevation gain.
The conservancy strongly recommends hiking boots, long pants, a long-sleeved shirt, a hat, and water in a day pack or holster to keep your hands free. Dogs are not allowed because some sections of the trails are narrow. All hikers will be required to sign a waiver at the trailhead.
