The Visitor Center and gift shop will re-open on Friday, November 25th.” The Monument’s Circle Trail will be open on Thanksgiving Day for anyone wishing to spend the afternoon enjoying a walk on the trail. The fall and winter seasons offer many photographic opportunities of the prairie and wildlife. During this quiet time of the year, walking the Circle Trail, with family and friends, can be particularly enjoyable and peaceful. The Visitor Center’s normal winter hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day of the week, including Saturday and Sunday.
