This program is all about learning how to identify wild animals by the tracks that they leave behind. Our park Interpreter will guide you out onto the hiking trail in search of paw prints, hoof prints, claw markings, and any other evidence of animal traffic. After this we will return to the visitor center where you can create your very own mold of any animal track of your choice.

All materials will be provided by the park. Please dress for the weather and be prepared to hike at least half of a mile. The fee for this program is $2 per participant. A parking fee is required unless you are a cabin or campground guest.
