Have you ever wondered how the forest, the farm, our homes shape us? Are you interested in hiking?

Join a Ranger on a guided hike discussing the ecology in and around the historic farm at Humpback Rocks. The program will start at the Humpback Rocks Visitor Center, go to the Glass Hollow Overlook, and return.

The tour is free and will be up to two hours long, totaling about three miles roundtrip. Dress appropriately for the weather (close-toed shoes and layers are recommended). Bring water and snacks.
