Join Ranger Steve for an easy evening walk to enjoy the sunset and watch nocturnal animals become active along Merkle Trail. We may see coyotes, owls, snakes, tarantulas, scorpions and more! The route uses Merkle Trail, which is rated as barrier-free and is a wide, mostly level pathway. The Merkle loop is one mile and we will likely make a second loop to see more critters as darkness falls. Wear closed-toe shoes and bring water, a flashlight and a UV blacklight. Please have your annual pass or $7 exact cash for the self-pay station. Restrooms and water are available at Area 6, Merkle Trailhead north.
MEETING LOCATION: Area 6, Merkle Trailhead north
