This year’s HoHoHo Hike has a new twist! Hikers will visit stations along a well-marked trail to pick up and learn a little about some of nature’s beautiful treasures. Hikers will use these items to create beautiful, custom nature frames for holiday photos. A fun holiday photo opportunity will be set up in the Nature Playground for you to take a family photo. Children will be able to wave at Santa who will be safely nestled in his tree house workshop! Covid-19 might change how we do things, but it can’t stop the fun!
