Come see the fall colors and tall pine trees at Galena Creek! This is our last hike of the year! You don't want to miss it!​​​

Bundle up the kids, bring a snack, and we'll do an easy 10-noon hike on the nature trail at Galena Creek and up to Marilyn's Pond, where we'll assemble our fun Thanksgiving turkey craft.
Please consider a donation to help support our family hikes and programs, and we'll make sure your family gets one of our convenient pocket field guides to over 100 local species.
We'll start from the Galena Creek South entrance parking lot,
not the Visitor Center area.
All ages welcome!
This is a popular event, and registration is limited. Book now!
Guided hikes are scheduled and occur, permitting weather. We will attempt to notify you 24 hours in advance if the hike will be rescheduled.
