Join ecologist Marc Coles-Ritchie for a guided botany and ecology walk through the beautiful landscape of Best Friends Animal Sanctuary and Southern Utah.
We’ll slowly walk the half-mile trail to the Gratitude Garden, identifying wildflowers, grasses, shrubs, and other native plants along the way before returning on the same trail for a total round-trip distance of about 1 mile. Guests are welcome to turn around at any point.
