Wild Grasses Walk

This will be an easy walk to identify some of our local wild grasses. It is an introduction class, with no prior knowledge needed. Local expert Chick Keller has scouted the trails for the best place to identify grasses, and we will be hiking along the Los Alamos Canyon Rim Trail, beginning at the Los Alamos Smiths.

Meet at the Los Alamos Nature Center at 5:30 p.m. to carpool to the trailhead.


Please register in advance. Admission: Free.
