Lovell, WY — Join Bighorn Canyon staff and volunteers for the annual Junior Ranger Day scavenger hunt on April 18, 2026. This year the park is celebrating its 60th anniversary and the Bighorn Canyon Visitor Center’s 50th anniversary. The theme of the scavenger hunt is ‘Then and Now’.

The park will host a virtual scavenger hunt on the park Facebook page and an in-person scavenger hunt at the Bighorn Canyon Visitor Center.

The virtual scavenger hunt will kick off at 8 a.m. on the Bighorn Canyon Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/BighornCanyonNRA with new questions at the top of every hour until 3 p.m. The in-person scavenger hunt will start at the Bighorn Canyon Visitor Center at 10 a.m. It will end at 2 p.m. Participants will need to pick up the scavenger hunt sheet at the Visitor Center, visit five stations throughout the park to answer a question and have their sheet stamped. Once participants have been to each site, they will return to the visitor center for a Jr. Ranger badge.
