Event Description:

It's a special treat for families with small children! Truckee Donner Land Trust invites you on a guided hike specifically geared for the child in all of us in the magnificent Lower Carpenter Valley. This will be a slow paced hike with chances for play along the way. Minutes from Truckee but hidden from view, Carpenter Valley offers grand scenery, lush meadows carpeted by wildflowers, and the chance to see wildlife in its natural environs.

Hiking details: Enjoy a docent-led, 2+mile round trip hike on mostly flat terrain on somewhat rough ranch roads.This will be a slower paced hike with stops designed to allow play amongst the erractic boulders and along the creek side.
