Medano Wetlands Details
Wetlands form around Medano Creek most summers, and exploring the wetlands can be a fun half-day of hiking and catching frogs. Access the wetlands by hiking down the Medano Creek streambed toward the end of the cottonwood grove. Be sure to check with a ranger before heading down to the area, as conditions can change weekly or even daily.
