Step back in time on this leisurely-paced walk down into Stevens Creek Canyon with Docent Naturalists Debbie Mytels, Ping Li, and John Seyfarth. You'll learn to identify various ferns and other plants that evolved before flowers graced the Earth, as well as how ferns have been used by different cultures for many generations, even as an edible delicacy. You may also see some newts in Stevens Creek. On your return via the Canyon Trail, you'll stop for a snack. Near the loop’s end, you’ll find yet another species of ancient plant near the sag pond.
