The varied topography and ecosystems of Louis A. Stelzer County Park make this 420-acre reserve a delight to visit. It is situated along Wildcat Canyon Creek and includes the rocky hillsides, ridgeline, and a peak with 360-degree views of the surrounding area. The topography also includes a series of small meadows. A narrowing granite-lined passage follows the creekbed where gabbro is the dominate rock. Plant communities found in the park include coastal sage scrub, chaparral, and a southern oak riparian woodland. +more
