White Owl Canyon Trail is a short but spectacular hike to an interesting slot canyon where you can find much evidence of owls and other birds of prey. The canyon walls have many coves or indents where the birds hang out. Check out the ground below and you will find tiny skulls and bones from small animals.
The trail is less than a mile and takes you into a short but steep-walled canyon with overhangs. You can also hike in the opposite direction to the Lake.
To get to White Owl Canyon turn onto the 33 Hole parking area off of Lake Shore Drive and make the first left to the parking area. The trail starts at the back of the parking area. Follow the trail that drops down into the wash and over to the next wash, turn left back towards Lake Shore Drive and hike up towards Lake Shore drive to White Owl Canyon. (You can continue the hike by walking through a tunnel that goes under Lake Shore Drive.)
