Arriving Late? A greeter will be at the trailhead for 10 minutes after the program start time to help guide you. After that, we'll be out on the trail learning and exploring! This program typically begins at the amphitheater by the river - follow the short trail to your right to find the group. You can always stop by the front office and we'll help you get connected with the group.
