When you are hiking in the canyon, it feels like you are in the wilderness. There is a creek (the Islais Creek that pours into the bay), a natural rock-climbing wall, several trails, and if you are lucky, wildlife sighting--coyotes, hawks, and great horned owls. The canyon is home to 2 native species found nowhere else: a newt and a butterfly.
