More Information
Beat the summer heat and explore the park after dark with Ranger Derik as you hunt for scorpions and other nocturnal creatures that call the park home. The hike will be on a section of the Slate trail and participants will cover 3 miles during the program. The trail is rated as easy but expect some loose rock and sandy sections if you have balance issues or bad knees hiking poles are strongly encouraged. We will be looking for wildlife in the dark so make sure to pack flashlights and blacklights if you have them make sure everything is charged or have extra batteries. Bathrooms can be found at the trailhead and a water fountain is available at the nature center (the doors of the nature center will close at 4 PM). Please no pets!
