Bring your own hiking stick to decorate!

Before you attend the program, explore one of our trails to find a small fallen branch to turn into a hiking stick! We'll have beads, twine, leather, paint, and more for you to use. As you craft, the ranger will discuss how indigenous tribes turned natural materials into artwork.

This program is open to ages 2 to 102. Everyone is welcome!

Parks are for everyone. Please let us know if you need special accommodations.
