Ear to the Wild: The Rushing Waters of Calabazas Creek

Calabazas Creek is part of the Sonoma Creek watershed. It starts as a trickle up on the ridge between Sonoma and Napa valleys, where Trinity Road crosses over. As it flows down the slope through Nuns Canyon it gathers more and more water. Calabazas Creek goes under highway 12 at Nuns Canyon Road. Eventually it flows along Henno Road and into Glen Ellen. The Calabazas sub-watershed is one of the largest in the greater Sonoma Creek watershed. During major storms it collects an impressive amount of water. Here’s the rushing waters of Calabazas Creek just before it reaches the mainstem of Sonoma Creek.
