Each day at 10 a.m., the ACES naturalist leads the group of hikers along the Snowmass Wilderness Trail, a relatively easy two hour hike. Along the way, the ACES naturalist imparts knowledge of animals that live in the area, especially those belonging to animals whose footprints are evident on the hiking trail. Also, look forward to learning about the local flora. Not only is this guided ACES hike fun and educational for everyone, the views along the way and the light exercise make for a great family experience.
