Junior Ranger

With the return of the fall weather this week, we decided to head out for a hike. When we got to the trailhead, we realized that we needed a parking pass. We opted for the annual one, so our free hike turned out to be a bit more expensive than planned. We did get to meet the park ranger and she gave CJ, the Junior Ranger, a nature hunt to complete as we walked. Once we got out of the car, the rain started to pour down so before we hit the trail we stopped for a snack in the nice picnic shelter. When we got going again, it really wasn't that wet.



CJ enjoyed finding the items on the nature hunt list and also slugs, snails and rocks that drew on other rocks. She was only sad that the ranger station was closed on our way out so we couldn't turn in the hunt checklist to get the prizes she had been told of.
