When

March 30, 2025. 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.

Before leaves return to trees, the sun reaches the forest floor to give early spring flowers energy to pop up!

Join a ranger on this guided hike on our Cottonwood Trail. We'll be on the lookout for Star Chickweed, Dutchman’s Breeches, Bloodroot, and more! This hike will take place on easy, but rocky terrain and be less than 2 miles. The trail also contains a raised, wooden boardwalk.
