Many of Monterey’s neighborhoods sit on a gently sloping mesas and are defined by and separated from other neighborhoods by wooded canyons. We drive by these canyons everyday without much thought, yet they are an integral part of the ecology of the Monterey Peninsula. Not only do these canyons act as wonderful natural barriers, which limit neighborhood size and have allowed neighborhoods to grow with unique characteristics and architectural styles, but they are also vital to natural drainage and provide a unique wildlife habitat. The interconnecting system of canyons create seasonal creeks which combine to feed Lake El Estero, Washerwoman’s Pond, Del Monte Lake at the Naval Postgraduate School, and Laguna Grande.
Take a few minutes out of your cache search to appreciate the beauty of this little nameless creek.
