BECOME A JUNIOR RANGER AT LAKE MEAD, APRIL 24
BOULDER CITY, Nevada – Find out what it takes to be a park ranger and become an official Lake Mead National Recreation Area Junior Ranger at the annual Junior Ranger Day event along the Historic Railroad Trail from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, April 24.
All ages can participate in various activity stations where they can learn about park ranger careers, learn about the Bark Ranger program, see how volunteers help our park, view the sun through a solar telescope and so much more. After participants visit the different activity tables, they will take the pledge to become official Junior Rangers and be presented with a Lake Mead Junior Ranger badge.
We invite all current fourth and fifth graders out to receive an Every Kid Outdoors pass that will grant them and three guests free admission to more than 2,000 federal public lands, including more than 400 national park units through August 31, 2021.
For the safety of all participants, activity stations will be spaced along the trail from the Historic Railroad Trail trailhead to the first tunnel, a distance of roughly 1.5 miles. Participants will be encouraged to observe social distancing when on the trail and wear masks when distancing is not possible with other visitors and park staff.
