Outing / Event Description
Family Creek Exploration at Hood Mountain Regional Park | 09.22.12 (Exploración familiar del arroyo)
Status:
Closed
Part of our 'No Child Left Inside' outing series. Everyone is welcome on this outing, but content and pace will be ideal for kids ages 3-10.
Kids and adults alike will enjoy this family-friendly creek exploration near the headwaters of Santa Rosa Creek in Hood Mountain Regional Park - part of Creek Week!
Niños y adultos disfrutaran esta exploración cerca de la cabecera del arroyo de Santa Rosa en el parquet regional Hood Mountain como parte de ¡la semana del arroyo!
We'll take a slow, kid-paced walk from the Los Alamos parking area down to the creek. We'll explore and talk about the plants and animals that call this place home. Kids will have a chance to wade in the shallow, slow moving water - so bring boots or water shoes! We'll take time to share a picnic lunch at creekside before heading back up to the parking area.
Tomaremos un camino lento del estacionamiento de Los Álamos al arroyo. Exploraremos y hablaremos acerca de las plantas y animales que viven aquí. Los niños tendrán la oportunidad de refrescarse en el arroyo, así que traiga zapatos para el agua. Tendremos la oportunidad de compartir un almuerzo a la orilla del arroyo antes de regresar al estacionamiento.
