Native wildlife make the canyon their home and is just waiting to be discovered. Also located on site is the John J. Collier Interpretive Center, a small museum with live animal and regional natural history exhibits.
The Nature Center is ideal for those who are just stepping into the wilderness for the first time or for those more experienced trekkers who are seeking a short hike.
There is no eating on the grounds but there are picnic facilities available adjacent to the bathrooms and the parking lot.
