Dress for the weather and bring along your archeologists’ eye as you explore the area in search of ruins. Dogs are welcome, but must be on a 6ft. leash and get along well with other dogs and humans alike. All hikes meet at the Nature Center where there will be short introduction, then carpool to the start location each hike. Hikes are rain or shine and will only be cancelled in extreme conditions.
