Birding Hike - Warbler Vista Guided Hike
Description
Meet our feathered friends with a birding walk at Warbler Vista!
This guided walk is an excellent opportunity to learn about some of our most important residents of the Refuge!
Who is this hike for?
This walk is for both those who already love birding, and for those who are just learning! This is an excellent opportunity to learn and spend time with others who are passionate about birding. If you enjoy greeting the morning with a quiet hike through beautiful hills, this is a great time to do so!
How difficult is this hike?
We consider this a moderate difficulty hike due to the inclines, descents, and the occasionally rocky or slippery portions of the trail. This hike will be at a "birding pace" - meaning we will stop frequently to observe or listen for birds. We will hike approximately 2-2.5 miles.
TIME: This walk will be approximately 2 to 2.5 hours, depending on the birds we see and where we look for them!
MEETING LOCATION: There are multiple trailheads at Warbler Vista. We will meet at the Quarry Canyon Trailhead. There is parking available at the trailhead.
WATER & RESTROOMS: There is no water at the trailhead. There are restrooms at Warbler Vista at the Warbler Vista parking lot which is the next parking lot after the Quarry Canyon Trailhead.
EQUIPMENT: Bring your binoculars for observing birds, and some water for drinking. As always, wear appropriate shoes, bring plenty of water, bug spray, and sunscreen. Due to slippery rocks on the trail, hiking poles are also highly recommended.
WEATHER ADVISORY & OTHER CANCELLATIONS: In the event that we need to cancel due to extreme weather or other unforeseen conditions you will be notified via email at least three hours prior to the hike start.
PARTICIPANT CANCELLATIONS: Our hikes are popular and often have wait lists, if you need to cancel, we ask that you try to do so at least 48 hours in advance so that a wait-list participant is notified in adequate time to be able to join us on the trail!
