Learn the natural and human history of this preserve on an intermediate level mountain bike ride (with a 2,000-foot elevation gain) led by Docent Naturalists Linda Wegner and Veronica Chouinard. Riders must have experience with single-track trails, fire roads, and climbing hills. The ride leaves promptly. Bring ample drinking water, power snacks, and clothing layers as many areas are exposed to direct sun.
(Note: Arrive early to find parking; additional parking may be available on Prospect Road).
Reservations are required and will be accepted on or after May 20 at 12:00 p.m. (Noon) and close June 2 at 2:00 p.m.
