Winter Holiday Traditions

Celebrate the holidays the old-fashioned way by hand-crafting items families might have been made on the historic ranches that became Government Canyon.
Make evergreen wreaths, beeswax 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, and we have a holiday-themed trail scavenger hunt you can take with you!
