About the event

Meander through the woods with native plant expert Julia Smit and learn about the wide array of colorful wildflowers that line the Whitefish Trail. Come prepared for a ~2 mile hike!


ACCESSIBILITY: We are happy to chat--please reach out with any questions about accessibility! Lion Mountain Trailhead has accessible parking spots and bathroom set on a gravel surface. We will travel on a single-track, dirt trail that starts at the trailhead and is ~2 miles long with minimal rocks and roots. This trail can be accessed by walking or by using an off road mobility device.


This program is free and family friendly! We know committing to plans can be difficult--your RSVP is appreciated but not required. When you RSVP, be sure to do so for each member of your party and cancel if you change plans.
