Type: Movement

Habitat description: The Stone Valley hiking trail is located in the town of Colton. The trail system covers approximately 9.7 miles.

Natural history information: Waterfalls add oxygen to streams. It is harder to get oxygen underwater than from the air. Even creatures adapted to breath underwater can suffocate if oxygen levels drop. Hanging out near a waterfall is beneficial.
