Before your trip up to Hanging Rock stop by our tabling event to guess the identity of tracks left behind by local wildlife and learn the best ways to identify who left them. Expect to gain a better understanding of wildlife tracking that you can use on your next hike. This program is suitable for all ages. Please RSVP to Ashlyn Wray at andra.dalton@ncparks.gov .
Most state parks in western North Carolina have reopened at least partially.
