Placerita Canyon Nature Center is the perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of civilization and recharge your batteries in the beauty of the natural world. The canyon runs east-west on the north side of the San Gabriel Mountains and offers abundant natural beauty, with oaks, willows and sycamore trees, and a seasonally running stream and waterfall. Bears, coyotes, mountain lions, bobcats, rabbits, bats, squirrels and a variety of birds call the canyon home.
Several hiking trails originate at the nature center. Their programs include a Saturday Nature Walk, Native Live Animal Presentation, a docent-led Bird Walk, and a Wildflower Walk. See their website for schedules of activities. The park is open every day with no admission charge.
The Placerita Canyon Nature Center is open Tuesday through Sunday.
