Description
Join park rangers for a Winter Wonderland program at Effigy Mounds National Monument! Rangers will lead a guided two-mile hike around the Fire Point Loop, which will last approximately two hours. The program will meet at the Effigy Mounds Visitor Center on Monday, January 20 at 1:00pm. Note: This date of this hike was changed to January 20 due to the extreme cold forecasted for January 19.
This program is weather dependent. In the event of snow, there will be a guided snowshoeing program in lieu of a guided hike. The program will be canceled in the event of a severe winter storm.
