Ranger Shaun is out for an “early” morning critter hunt! Click program title for more details.

Come along and see what’s for seeing! The temps are climbing but the critters like it hot! Early in the day we can find them getting up and active before the day gets too toasty and they start getting lazy. We’ll be looking for squirrels, birds, lizards, and snakes, but you never know who might show up on the trail! Restrooms and water available at the trailhead staging area. This is a roughly 2-mile hike over easy and medium trails, so please come prepared with proper footwear, water bottles, and any hiking gear you need to feel comfortable. Hats and sunscreen strongly encouraged. No pets please.
