Join Ranger Kevin for an approximately 1.5-mile walk on the easy terrain of Tortoise Trail to look, listen (and possibly even smell!) for animals. Some of the creatures we might encounter along the way include: scorpions, snakes, skunks, nighthawks, toads, bats, insects and more! Wear closed-toe shoes and bring water. Participants are also encouraged to bring a black light and/or flashlight; a small number of these may be available to borrow. Meet at the Pemberton Trailhead Staging Area; bathrooms are available near the trailhead. To register, please call the McDowell Mountain Park office at 602-506-2930 x3 with your name, number attending and your phone number. Registration deadline: Wednesday, August 30. NO pets please.
