Little Hikers: Winter Scavenger Hunt Hike
Event Details: Join UpaDowna for our last Little Hikers event of the year as we head to Quail Lake Park for a Winter Scavenger Hunt! Hot cocoa will be served to Little Hikers and their families. We will also learn about Leave No Trace Principle #4: Leave What You Find!
The trail is primarily dirt and gravel with minimal elevation gain. It is stroller friendly.
Meeting Point: Quail Lake Park – 915 E Cheyenne Mountain Blvd, Colorado Springs, CO 80906. Meet at the WEST side of the lake by the picnic tables. This is the side closest to the playground.
Look for the Yeti Crew and the UpaDowna yard sign by picnic table. When you arrive, please sign the waiver for you and your Little Hiker.
What to Bring: Wear layers, supportive shoes, bring sun protection, water, and a snack.
Cost: This is a free event. You must RSVP on Eventbrite. Your donations are important for UpaDowna to continue to offer free and accessible adventures for our community. If you would like to make a one-time or reoccurring donation, please visit Donate – UpaDowna.
About Little HIkers:This is a SPUR event – Similar Paths United by Recreation. It is geared towards Little Hikers, which means it is for families with toddlers and children under 8 years of age. To UpaDowna, the definition of SPUR is Similar Paths United (by) Recreation. Many of us walk the same path and don’t even know it. Finding camaraderie with others who share similar interests helps us feel more comfortable with new experiences. Many times, it can also help to share your challenges with folks who are “climbing” the same mountain as you. Little Hikers SPUR Events are for families with young children.
