Fee: $5
The desert comes alive after dark. Join CDRI staff and volunteers on these guided, nocturnal excursions into our botanical gardens and Modesta Canyon to discover what goes on when the sun goes down. The garden walk will be an easy stroll, but the canyon hike is steep and strenuous in places. This is a great family activity, but children must be closely supervised by adults. Remember to dress warmly in layers, wear appropriate hiking shoes, and bring a flashlight.
