Crescent Meadows is a delightful combination of open meadow, brushy corridors, and conifer forest. Expect a good variety of foothills bird species, as well as the possibility for numerous butterflies. Plan to walk for about two miles with modest elevation gain; most of the walking will be on undeveloped trails with brief off-trail excursions. There are no restroom facilities in this part of the park. All experience levels are welcome, but this trip is especially aimed at those early in their birding journeys.
