Event Details

Join Ranger Loveless for a guided Spring Hike and experience the beauty of the season firsthand. This 1- to 1.5-hour trek features opportunities for bird watching and chances to capture stunning seasonal photos of wildlife. Along the way, Ranger Loveless will share insights on local wildlife, tree identification, and how the park’s ecosystem adapts during the winter months.

The trail is mostly flat with some rooted and rocky areas, includes moderate inclines, and concludes with a steep staircase. This hike offers a relaxed yet engaging adventure—perfect for nature lovers, photographers, and birding enthusiasts looking to enjoy the crisp winter air.

To stay comfortable in cold temperatures, dress in warm, layered clothing. We recommend:

  • A moisture-wicking base layer
  • An insulating middle layer such as fleece or wool
  • A waterproof or windproof outer jacket
  • Warm hat and gloves
  • Thick socks (wool preferred)
  • Sturdy, waterproof hiking boots with good traction

Don’t forget to bring a camera, binoculars, and plenty of curiosity as you explore the winter landscape
