Lace up Those Hiking Boots

The Canyoneer season is about to begin!

The 2023-2024 Canyoneer season is just around the corner, with a hike at Kate Sessions Memorial Park on September 10 to kick it all off!

Join these expert naturalists on a free, guided hike to get up close and personal with nature in our region. There are 60 hikes to choose from throughout the county between September 2023 and June 2024.

To help create the best experience for hikers and the least impact on the environment, capacity is limited, and advanced online registration is required. Registration opens to members five weeks before the hike date, and publicly opens one month before the hike date.

Let's explore!

Subaru is a proud partner of the Canyoneers program.
