 Further downstream the valley widens to form grasslands and meadows, where the remains of sheep corrals built in the 1800s can be found.About halfway along its length the creek receives effluent from the Muirlands Storm Drain, then is joined by the intermittent Mathis Canyon Creek from the right.Flowing past Temple Hill, a peak of the San Joaquin Hills to the east, it crosses the Wood Canyon Trail three times.
