8:00 AM – 10:00 AM

This guided tour will emphasize the history of Travis Audubon’s Chaetura Canyon, plants, geology, birds, habitat restoration and (of course) Chimney Swifts!

Please bring your own water and snacks.  A restroom is available.  We will begin with a short orientation, and then hit the trails.

Trails are well-developed, but a stretch of the main lower trail is moderately strenuous with:
– A very narrow path
– A 100-foot drop-off
– Loose rocks
– Many steps going down, then up back up again

This tour is not recommended for children under seven (7) years of age or people with balance problems.

Sturdy shoes or boots are required (no sandals, flip-flops or flats!). A walking stick, binoculars and a water bottle are recommended.  Cameras are also welcome, but we do ask that you put your cell phones on “vibrate” while on the trails.

This event is free, but a minimum donation of $10 per person to Travis Audubon for Chaetura Canyon is encouraged. Note cards, t-shirts, limited edition prints and TAS merchandise will be available for purchase.  All donations and purchases benefit the maintenance of and projects at Chaetura Canyon.

Further details will be emailed to registrants prior to the event. For questions, please contact the Stewards, Paul and Georgean Kyle: kyle@ChimneySwifts.org
