Visit the Nature Preserve!
 
The Davidson-Arabia Mountain Nature Preserve offers great opportunities for recreation and education. You are welcome to visit the nature preserve on your own or schedule a tour with Arabia's interpretive park ranger.

HOURS OF OPERATION: 7A.M. to Sunset



PLEASE WATCH YOUR STEP

Although plants in the Nature Preserve may appear hardy, they are susceptible to foot damage. Delicate mosses and lichens, some of which take a hundred years to grow just one inch, cover much of Arabia. Sometimes these plants are not obvious to visitors and during dry seasons may even look dead, when really they are just dormant. Just one footstep can kill one hundred years growth!

If Diamorpha stalks - located in the rock depressions - are hit in the summer, their seeds fall onto the rock and burn up - interrupting the life cycle.

So please stay on the trails when you visit and be respectful of this very fragile environment.
