About this Spot

Strawberry Canyon along Centennial Road to Grizzly Peak, including Tightwad Hill, and the Lawrence Hall of Science parking areas.

Trash Note

We removed over 35 abandoned campsites from lower Strawberry Canyon.

New trash in the canyon comes from new campsites, along with litter near Tightwad Hill and along the roads and parking areas.

Campsites are often hard to find, most are on the steep slopes on the South side of the Canyon between Centennial and the Fire Trail.

Around Lawrence Hall of Science, trash is found below the walls and down-slope from parking areas.


Avoid cleaning active campsites unless you talk to the residents and get guidance from residents about what can be taken away. Potentially needles around homeless campsites.

Getting There & Parking

Various parking areas along Centennial Road.

Trash Disposal

Small amounts, take with you.

Large amounts stage off the right-of-way where it can be easily loaded into a truck - when possible, near trash cans.
