Participants should wear comfortable hiking shoes. The 2-miles walks are at a leisurely pace on paved trails at Quail Ridge and Veterans Tribute Park, and on natural trails at Broemmelsiek Park and Klondike Park. Along the way, the group will look for wildlife and identify the sounds in the parks during each season. Participants should meet Ranger Tiemann at the program sign posted in the park before the start of each hike.
