We’ll be on the lookout for all kinds of evening-active critters, from skunks to, spiders, snakes, fox, coyote, deer, owls and of course scorpions! Bring flashlights; black UV lights are optional. We will be hiking along part of Pemberton Trail for our search of creatures! Pemberton is mainly sand/dirt flat trail and the section we will be doing is rated easy-moderate with some rocky/uneven parts. There are restrooms and water at the trailhead. Please no pets! Be sure to bring plenty of water and wear close-toed shoes.
