Murray Canyon is an easy hike south from Andreas Canyon. Foot and equestrian trails lead to beautiful recreational spots among the many palm trees. Peninsular Big Horn Sheep (an endangered species), mule deer and other wild animals still roam the high ground above the canyon and can be seen by the lucky visitor. Being less visited, Murray Canyon has its own secluded beauty; and at least one known endangered species of bird, the Least Bells Vireo, is known to nest here.
