N
Hike a wooded trail
Throughout the month | Statewide
November is a good month for hiking. With foliage receding,
you'll have a clearer view of the many species of wildlife out
and about at this time. Also, no need to worry about nettles,
gnats or ticks, but it remains a good idea to wear blaze orange
on these hikes.
Go on the Bighorn Sheep Hike
Nov. 2, 10 a.m. | Wildcat Hills State Recreation Area
This hike is your opportunity to explore the habitat of the
Wildcat Hills' bighorn sheep, with the chance at spotting them
in their natural surroundings. Staff will use radio telemetry to
try to pinpoint the bighorns' location. It might be a long hike,
so come prepared with water, weather-appropriate clothing
and hiking shoes, and expect to hike uneven ground with tall
grass.
