Would you like to learn about nocturnal creatures and explore the desert at night? Not sure about hiking at night by yourself? Join Ranger J.D. as he takes you on a 1-2-mile hike on Waddell Trail.  Help him search for the hiding places of these creatures.  Make sure you bring water, wear closed-toe shoes and maybe something warm. Please leave your dog at home. Meet at Area 7
