Meet near Picnic Shelter A to get your parking pass. When: Friday, June 28, 10am -12pm Accessibility: Program includes time at an accessible shelter near the parking lot and then a short hike along the gravel road that follows the river.

What to Bring: Dress appropriately for the weather forecast. Bring multiple layers for both active walking and standing still.

Program Description: Through a short shelter program with video and audio clips, we'll compare the lifestyles of a few of Gateway's iconic daylight and nighttime animals and learn how well tuned these animals are to their environment. Then we'll take a walk along the North Fork of the Poudre to explore their habitat.
