The hike will be about 5 miles and there will be variable and steep terrain. Please bring water and dress for the weather and activity (e.g., sturdy walking or hiking shoes).

This program is free, but let us know you are coming by giving us a call or stopping by the Visitor Center. Parking fee is $5.
