Regular evening programs and naturalist-guided hikes during warm months and periodically in the fall and winter are a great outdoor educational experience for individuals or groups. Individuals can partake in guided hikes and evening programs. Groups can schedule special “outdoor” education experience. Classrooms can only go so far, schedule a great guided learning experience at the park, a very natural “outdoor” experience.
Check the Visitor Center or calendar for a schedule. School or group programs held on or off-site are available by special appointment. Contact the Visitors Center for more information.
