National Park. Morning hikes on Saturday and Sunday (summer) start at the Travertine Nature Center at 9:30 am. During other seasons, these walks are held in the afternoon. You can also view a video that gives the history of CNRA and explore the exhibits at the Nature Center.

Other popular daytime programs are the Junior Ranger and the Junior Angler Program. To become a Junior Ranger, participants are provided an activity booklet and, upon completion, earn a badge. The Junior Angler Program teaches kids all the fundamentals of fishing and furnishes a book, all equipment, and bait. This activity is early on Saturday morning and requires at least a 24-hour advance reservation.

Night time is also full of fun. Friday Night Nature Walk will allow you to examine the creatures that come out after dark. Call ahead on Fridays to make your reservation. The Night Nature Walks are held the first part of summer (9:00) and switches to the Night Star Walk at Veteran’s Lake in mid-summer. (Approx 9:30 - no reservation required) At Cold Springs, Buckhorn, and The Point Campgrounds, check out the bulletin boards for postings on Saturday night programs at the amphitheaters. Be sure to call ahead (580-622-7234) or check the website (nps.gov/chic) for complete details and reservations if required.
