The park naturalist invites you to explore the Dolly Sods Wilderness Area over Leaf Peepers weekend. We will begin our day by visiting the Bird Banding Station where we will watch as live birds are banded as they start their migration season.

Afterwards, we will continue on our journey for vibrant fall colors and marvel at the blueberry (huckleberry) bushes turning a bright fire red with the evergreen and hardwood trees becoming multi colored. This exploration allows a fantastic opportunity for photographing nature's autumn beauty. Bring your cameras and expect to capture breathtaking scenery.

Boxed lunch and shuttle service provided. Shuttle leaves Main Lodge at 9am. Pre-registration required: Adult $25 / Child (age 12-under) $15
