Weekend To Do List - October 16-18, 2020
Fall is in the air and October is on the calendar! We are still being cautious and hoping and praying that COVID goes away SOON! Our goal is to provide you with safe, but also fun things to do during this time. How great is it that we get to live in a place with so many wonderful things to do and see!?!
Check out this edition of the Great Life RE Weekend To Do List! While we try to find activities and events that promote social distancing and a safe environment please always use your own judgment when attending any activity or function.
Do: Fall Color Hike
Where: Seven Islands State Birding Park / 2809 Kelly Ln. Kodak
Join Ranger Stephanie on a 3-3.5 mile hike through the park to explore the beautiful fall colors. You'll learn how to identify some of the trees and shrubs in the park, especially as they lose their leaves during the fall and winter months. Some fun facts and natural history of the trees and plants will be shared as we hike the trails and enjoy the fall landscape. If there are any wildflowers still blooming in the park, they will be pointed out and discussed as well.
Please plan on arriving at the Bluebird Barn by the main entrance of the park on Kelly Ln by 9:00am. Participants should wear good walking shoes/boots and bring plenty of water and snacks if desired. Everyone is required to bring a mask which will be worn at times when you can't social distance.
