Join Ranger Erin for a beautiful hike to start the new year.  We will stroll through the Crooked River Wetlands and then hike up the Rim Trail, where you will get a stunning view of Mt. Jefferson and the 3 Sisters.  We will talk about some of The Cove’s fascinating geologic history and see if we can spot any winter wildlife out and about.  Refreshments will be served at the overlook.  Trails are easy to moderate.

FREE PARKING DAY!!!
