Yo, dude! If you’re looking for a guided hike in the park, you’re in luck! 🌳🥾 There are actually quite a few options available, depending on what you’re looking for. 😎
First off, if you’re into bird-watching, there’s a guided hike that takes you through some of the best spots in the park for spotting different species. 🦅🦜 The hike usually lasts about three hours and covers around four miles. It’s led by a local ornithologist who really knows their stuff, so you’re sure to learn a lot about the birds you see along the way. 🤓
If you’re more interested in the park’s history, there’s a guided hike that focuses on the area’s Native American heritage. 🏞️🧑🤝🧑 The hike is about five miles long and takes you to some really cool spots, like ancient petroglyphs and burial grounds. The guide is a member of the local tribe and shares stories and insights that you won’t find in any guidebook. 🤠
For those who want a bit more of a challenge, there’s a guided hike that takes you up to the summit of the park’s tallest peak. 🏔️🥾 It’s a pretty strenuous hike, covering over eight miles and gaining about 3,000 feet in elevation. But the views from the top are absolutely breathtaking, and the guide is a seasoned mountaineer who knows the route like the back of their hand. 🤙
All of these guided hikes are really popular, so it’s a good idea to book in advance. You can do that online or by calling the park’s visitor center. 📞👍 And even if you don’t end up doing a guided hike, I highly recommend spending some time exploring the park on your own. There are so many hidden gems tucked away in the trails and meadows, and you never know what you might discover. 🌸🦋
