Enjoy an after-dark trail walk to look for and learn about the nocturnal critters of the park with Ranger Steve! Wildlife seen on past walks have included bats, snakes, ringtails, foxes, skunks, javelinas, deer, owls, scorpions, insects, and other cool creepy crawlies! Trails are rated as easy and are mostly flat, but there may be some uneven or rocky surfaces. We will hike about 1-1.5 miles roundtrip. Please bring your own flashlights and blacklights if you have them. Please dress in layers and wear sturdy footwear, and carry ample water.
