The Buck Canyon Trail is rich with a variety of natural features. In early summer, wildflowers reach their prime and hundreds of hummingbirds may be seen feeding on red horsemint. It passes through forests of incense-cedar and fir, open grassy meadows, and brush thickets of manzanita, chokecherry, and occasional black oak.
