Local hikes and places to enjoy
This my favorite any time of year. In the summer there are many swim holes and tables for picnics. When the weather is cooler it perfect for a stroll along the creek with many secluded spots to enjoy with a friend, family or a contemplative moment in the peace and beauty of nature.

Hikes close to the Sanctuary
This trailhead is located just a 1 minute drive from the Sanctuary. The trail takes around Pyramid Mountain. It is the mountain that looks like a pyramid. The views are beautiful. It is an easier trail about 2 miles. Mountain bikers love it and is great for everyone including dogs. It is especially beautiful as a sunset hike. The setting sunlight lights up Cathedral Rock in hues of gold, orange and then purples.
