Ferns, mosses, lichen, fungus, yabbies, water spiders and frogs, all washed by the waters that continue to move, carve, tickle and dance over the ancient terrain to create nothing.

Yelp users haven’t asked any questions yet about laurel canyon hippie hiking tour. Claustral canyon is an amazing piece of history.

You will be amazed at what this canyon has to offer.
