Stories in the Soil: Tracks, Scats, and Scrapes! Oh My!: Ranger-Led Talks and Activities (Waterrock Knob Visitor Center - Milepost 451)

Blue Ridge Parkway

  • Nov 5, 2026 at 1:30 PM
  • Free

Wildlife are abundant in the Blue Ridge, and one of the most exciting opportunities of many visitor's journey is catching a glimpse of a furry, finned, or feathered creature. Though we may not always see our elusive neighbors, they tend to follow paths of least resistance and share the very trails we take. If you know what to look for, you can see signs that wildlife leave behind and gain insights to how they are using their habitat. Join a ranger for a 20-minute program and learn about our wildlife and the signs they leave behind.

Fees

The program is free with no tickets or reservations required.

Location

This talk will be outside the visitor center. In high winds or inclement weather, the talk will be canceled and we will set up an informal educational table indoors. The Waterrock Knob Visitor Center is at Milepost 451 of the Blue Ridge Parkway.
