Explore the Narcisse Snake Dens!

A group hike is planned to the famous Narcisse Snake Dens, home to the world's largest concentration of garter snakes. In spring and fall, thousands of red-sided garter snakes gather here, creating a fascinating natural spectacle. This is a casual outdoor event to meet new people and enjoy nature, not a guided interpretive hike.
