This October is Government Canyon's 20th Anniversary month, and they've scheduled a series of activities to celebrate!
What does a natural space like Government Canyon mean to you? Connect to the Canyon with mindful observations recorded in a free GCSNA journal (limited copies available).
During this special anniversary edition of their Nature Journaling activity, you will explore some techniques for improving memory, expressing creativity, building scientific skills, and increasing your connection to nature. They will help you get started with quality colored pencils, a variety of journaling prompts, and a non-judgmental, sharing atmosphere.
This activity is open to all ages and includes both a seated activity and a (very) short hike. Minors must be accompanied by their parent or legal guardian. No pets please.
Where to Meet: Park in Lot A or B and meet at the Gallery at the Visitor Center.
Registration is NOT required, but the program is limited to the first 20 people to check in at the Gallery.
Colored pencils and journals provided, but you will need to bring a blanket or portable chair to sit on while journaling. You are also welcome to bring your own art supplies if you’d like.

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. The park often fills 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.
