Adventures are meant to be shared - National Trails Day is a great opportunity to meet new people in your area and share a fun experience on a local trail. In this very special event, we will be exploring nature after the sun goes down and visualize it the way nocturnal animals do.
"Hoo-hoo" wants to join a park ranger in exploring the dark of night? We will be calling in owls that are hiding in the treetops. Come prepared with your flashlight and be ready to learn about these perching predators. We will start with an owl program, then at 8:30 head out on the trail to listen for owls.
Wear closed toed shoes, clothing appropriate for the weather, and bring a flashlight.
Space is limited: please pre-register at Visitor Center. Registration opens May 27. Free
**We will be following all current CDC guidelines, so please bring a facial mask to wear if needed and social distance at least six feet from guests outside your family group.**
