Maple Canyon

Cappie’s Scoop: I’m very lucky because this canyon is down the street from where I live! So mom and I can go anytime which means we see a lot of the changes in the canyon from lots of crunchy sticks to colorful (and sometimes edible) flowers. It’s a very short hike but with so many things to smell and bridges to walk under, I can spend a lot of time hanging out there. Sometimes I bring my furiends and after we finish hiking in the canyon, we might checkout a nearby restaurant that has a dog friendly patio for us! Don’t hesitate to add YOUR scoop in the comments below!

Tips: There are beautiful wildflowers here in the spring including the Nasturtium Flowers which are edible and have a peppery taste.

Directions: You can access the canyon from either a) Third Ave between Redwood St and Quince St, b) walking across the Quince St wooden bridge starting on Fourth Ave and Quince and then making a right on Third Ave or c) the end of W Maple St where it dead ends going away from State St. Parking is on the street.
