Who Is Invited:
Reservations required! Reserve your spot at the Friends of Government Canyon website (link above in the event details). Registration opens on Saturday two weeks prior to the event and closes at noon the Thursday before the event. Marking this event post as "going" is not the same as making a reservation!

This is a public program intended for individuals or families. If you would like to bring a group for a program at Government Canyon, please contact the Park Interpreter at [email protected] to schedule at a different time.
Where to Meet:
Meet at the Rock Garden beside the Visitor Center. Please be in place and ready to go no later than 6:00 pm.
