Routinely Offered Programs
Storytime with Seymour Antelope: Join the BLM's mascot, Seymour Antelope, on the second Tuesday of each month at 10:00 a.m. for stories and snacks.
Pioneer Trail Treks: Trail Treks are driving trips conducted by a BLM guide during the summer months, with numerous stops at historic sites along the trails. Depending upon the route a Trail Trek can last four to eight hours. All Trail Treks depart at 8:00 a.m. from the National Historic Trails Interpretive Center parking lot unless otherwise noted.
Please bring sack lunches, drinks, sunscreen, and wear appropriate clothing. Be prepared for inclement weather throughout the day. Transportation to these sites will not be provided and carpooling is encouraged! 4-wheel drive and high clearance vehicles are recommended.
Registration is required to participate. For more information and/or to register, please contact Jason Vlcan at 307-261-7783.
