Family Hike
Explore nature as a family with a guided hike through scenic Long’s Canyon.
Family Hike
This leisurely, family-friendly hike winds through the piñon-juniper woodland and alongside the river’s riparian corridor. A few interactive adventure packs will be available - each backpack filled with fun tools like bug boxes, magnifiers, guidebooks, binoculars, and a nature journal.
Along the way, we’ll discover the wonders of two distinct ecosystems—and, if we go the distance, explore the K-T Boundary site and visit wildlife blinds along the trail.
Don’t forget to bring water, wear sturdy shoes, and come with your sense of wonder!
All events are free to the public. Vehicles are required to have a Colorado state park pass.
