Celebrate the holidays the old-fashioned way by hand-crafting items families might have been made on the historic ranches that became Government Canyon.
Learn about and make evergreen wreaths, hand-dipped candles, and other traditional holiday toys and crafts at this come-and-go-event. The Discovery Trail would be great for a winter's hike before or after.
Who Is Invited:
This activity is open to all ages. Minors must be accompanied by their parent or legal guardian. No pets please.
Where to Meet:
Meet at the Exhibit Gallery, next to the Visitor Center.
Accessibility:
This activity is wheelchair-friendly. There is a paved path leading from the parking lots to the Visitor Center, and the event space has a wooden floor. An accessible restroom is nearby.
