Your clue booklet holds the secrets and each site unlocks the answers. \nWhat to expect at this family-friendly event: Forest trails\, wildlife sightings\, code-cracking\, and celebratory high-fives as you solve each clue. It’s a great opportunity to experience the incredible natural beauty right here in our back yard!
