Do you think salamanders are super spectacular? We do too! Join our naturalists on a hike to the Big Crusher, where we will get up close and personal with stunning, splendid salamanders in their natural habitat. Learn to identify our amazing amphibian acquaintances while exploring less-traveled parts of Ruffner Mountain.
Accessibility: This program will involve an approximately 1.5-mile walk on a flat dirt and grass trail with some loose soil and gravel. No restrooms or seating are available.
You may get your hands in the mud and cold water in February weather. Bring a water bottle or thermos, wear sturdy waterproof shoes and weather-appropriate clothing. Gloves and rubber boots are recommended.
The price of this program helps support Jefferson County Greenways.
