Details: Join us in celebrating California Biodiversity Week at Ishxenta State Park! Explore the amazing diversity of life at this unique state park and contribute to our species list in the beautiful Hatton Canyon area of Ishxenta SP. Join us for a 3-mile roundtrip hike up Hatton Canyon, an important oasis for native plants and animals amidst bustling shopping centers and cozy neighborhoods.
