The hike gives participants a chance to gain an appreciation for the natural environment and an opportunity to learn by doing.

Geo Cache Activity

Participants will have the opportunity to use GPS and compasses to explore local areas in search of "treasure."

Bird Watching

Observe the diversity of the birds in the Sandia Mountains right from our bird deck. The area includes a small watering hole, rock garden, bird baths, various feeders and a variety of different tree species that attract various types of birds.

Eco Casa

You can see these and other easy ways to reduce energy and resource use, as well as ways you can recycle resources in your everyday lives.
