Fern Canyon Details
Fern Canyon, a narrow canyon with ferns growing on both walls, lies at the end of Davison Road. The moist canyon is the perfect habitat for ferns and mosses; the setting is so prehistoric looking that it was used as a set for one of the _Jurassic Park_ films. Inside the canyon there's a one-mile trail following Home Creek. The trail is open year-round, but may be very wet and damp during spring. This incredible site is a top destination in the park.
