How do spotted fur, big ears, long tails, and other special features help animals survive in a challenging environment? Stop by to learn more at a touch table and craft station. All are welcome, but this activity is timed to coincide with Girl Scouts Love State Parks weekend.
Learn about the amazing ways in which Government Canyon wildlife is adapted to hide from danger, find food, and handle extreme temperatures at a wildlife touch table with skulls, feathers, pelts, and more. Then use craft supplies to create a critter of your own design. This is a come-and-go activity open to all during the event times.
We will have trail maps with suggested routes available for troops or families who would like a short hike, as well as a photo scavenger hunt you can use on the trail.
All ages welcome, but this activity is best for ages 6-14. Minors must be accompanied by their parent or legal guardian. No pets please.
This activity meets in the Picnic Pavilion, near the Visitor Center. Lot A or B will be the closest parking.

Registration is NOT required for this activity. Plan to arrive early as Saturdays can be very busy, and there is often a long line at the Fee Booth.
Though the event is free, entrance fees to the Natural Area do apply. We often fill to capacity. To ensure entrance and save time at the Fee Booth, please pre-purchase and print out a day pass.
This program is weather-dependent and subject to cancellation. Check trail conditions on the GCSNA social media pages.
