Triunfo Canyon
Within a few hundred yards of Kanan Road lies a peaceful trail that feels as distant as previous parts of its history. But look deeper and see black trunks combined with incoming new green leaves.
In 2018, the Woolsey Fire came blasting over the 101 Freeway down to the sea, but Manzanita and other California native plants are growing back. The wildflower seeds that require fire to help germinate for new growth, are thriving. Life in nature is beautifully resurgent.
