Episode Synopsis

If you’re looking for a short hike that’s perfect for kids, the Wagner Basin Trail fits the bill. From its starting point on the Rocky Mountain Front west of August, this one-mile round trip features plenty of adventure. Walk just a few hundred feet to a cave and a nearby petroglyph panel, and continue around the cliffs to a grassy meadow and a grove of Douglas fir. A shady picnic table under the trees is the perfect spot to eat a snack and examine a small art installation featuring animal skulls beautifully painted with native birds.
