This outing's theme is "mindful birding" where we will spend quiet time at each of several stopping points to focus deeply on any birds that we are able to see and hear. The emphasis will not be on finding and identifying as many species as possible, but rather on thoroughly appreciating the ones we happen across. We'll consider how mindful techniques might help us improve as "conventional" birders too. This area boasts exceptional scenery and a variety of high-quality habitats.  Restrooms are available near the meeting point, but not at the trailhead or along the trail. Plan on walking about two miles on gravel road.
