"The Verdugo Mountains are full of critters who call it's low lying brush home and share their urban space with hikers and mountain bikers. Stough Canyon is one of many trail heads within the Verdugo's, with the Nature Center at the top of Walnut street serving as the educational gateway to the mountains and trails. Learn about the wildlife, flora and fauna at one of the nature centers exhibits, guided hikes and day camps. Or access the trails next to the nature center and pedal up the Stough Canyon grinder." - Jennifer Beatty
