  The event kicks off with a Friday evening program on bugs, animals and snakes. An early morning bird walk at 8 a.m. precedes the various organized wildflower hikes lead by knowledgeable guests on Saturday. Short morning and afternoon hikes are also available.

  All tours are geared for fun, the love of nature, and an opportunity to see and identify rare and unusual spring wildflowers. The "hike pace" is suitable for all ages and is not considered difficult.
