SUMMARY:Elk Management Tour Morning: Chief Logan
DESCRIPTION:Elk Management Tours in West Virginia are designed to learn about and visit where the reintroduction of elk in the Mountain State has occurred.. The three-to-four-hour activity begins at 5:30 a.m. at Chief Logan Lodge\, Sunday\, October 9\, 2022. The tour ticket includes a light breakfast\, “All About Elk” conversation\, transportation to the elk translocation site\, and outdoor time to experience the terrain\, vegetation\, elk habitat and potential sightings and a souvenir. Tours are limited to 12 participants and reservations are required in advance. Masks may be necessary during transportation. \nHearing or seeing an elk bull or cow is not guaranteed. The elk are free roaming and not penned. Sunrise at the tour site is outstanding in addition to looking and listening for elk and observing other wildlife or wildlife signs in the area. Walking/hiking is involved. \nThese considerations are necessary: carry-on items must be small to accommodate passengers more comfortably and only if necessary. The tour is not recommended for youth under age 12. Pets are not permitted. Participants should refrain from use of scented products. Packing food on the tour is discouraged – wild animals have excellent sensory abilities and may react adversely. Sturdy\, closed-toe shoes or boots are required\, no flip-flops or sandals. Long pants should be worn. Up to two miles of walking may occur at the management area with some moderate inclines\, but all at a reasonable pace. Binoculars are available to borrow. \nThe cost is $34 per person. Ticket or package prices include taxes\, but not gratuity. Advanced reservations are required for tours and may be purchased online and found on the Book Now link\, https://wvstateparks.com/things-to-do/elk-management-tours. \nLauren Cole\, Naturalist/Biologist is the tour leader. Cole is a member of the National Association of Interpreters and a Certified Interpretive Guide. \nReserve lodging online: \nBook Now

SUMMARY:Full Hunter's Moon Hike: Cass
DESCRIPTION:Hike by the light of a full moon at Cass on October 8\, 2022. \nThe “Hunter’s Moon” hike at Cass Scenic Railroad begins from the visitors center (to the left of the Company Store facing the store) at 7:30 p.m. The evening walk is about three miles round trip with a slight grade\, but mostly flat walking. Please wear sturdy footwear and clothing for cooler evenings. Hike will be led by Park Superintendent Marshall Markley. The hike is open to the public and fee free. \nOctober’s full moon is known as the Hunter’s Moon according to The Old Farmer’s Almanac. This full moon name is attributed to Native Americans recognizing this bright Moon for obvious reasons. The leaves are falling from trees\, the deer are fattened\, and it’s time to begin storing up meat for the long winter ahead. Because the fields were traditionally reaped in late September or early October\, hunters could easily see fox and other animals that come out to glean from the fallen grains.
