Grab your ticket to the “Scavenger Hunt” Edition of the 2021 Mt Rogers Spring Naturalist Rally! This is the 47th year of the Mt Rogers Naturalist Rally and we have reinvented it this year to allow for exploration and discovery within the Mt. Rogers National Recreation Area (MRNRA). Our amazing Rally guides have assisted us with the development of this “Scavenger Hunt” chock full of challenges and natural history information. Although there will be no large gathering or group meal, you will have the same opportunity to learn about the amazing Mount Rogers area.
The Mt Rogers Naturalist Rally: “Scavenger Hunt” Edition is a self-guided, hands-on exploration of the biodiversity within a 7.5 mile radius of the Blue Ridge Discovery Center and within the MRNRA suitable for all ages. Participants will be provided clues to locate and explore unique and special locations, complete challenges, detours, and roadblocks, earn chances to win great prizes, and share findings!
