Reptile Hike

March and April make for good reptilian-spotting months as ectotherms leave their burrows in search of food and mates.  Join Galen and Rachel Freed in this easy 2-mile hike in search of snakes, lizards, and other wildlife. We’ll start with a presentation inside the Robert Ferguson Observatory classroom and then hike Lower Bald and Creekside Trails, whose habitats are preferred by these species. Buy tickets here.

Meet at the White Barn parking lot. Tickets are $10-$15 sliding scale for general admission, $5 for youth (12-17 year olds), students, Sugarloaf members, Sugarloaf volunteers, and free for children under 12. Wear sun protection and comfortable shoes, bring at least a quart of water, and if desired, a snack. Rains cancel. Parking fees apply.
