The Becoming an Outdoors Woman program (BOW) invites you to participate in a hike at Glendive's Makoshika State Park on Saturday, May 4 from 10 a.m.-3 p.m.

This guided event is designed for beginning hikers, but all skill levels are welcome. Attendees will listen to a short presentation on how best to prepare for hiking and how to stay safe on the trail. Lunch, snacks and drinks are included. Cost for the event is $20, and participants must be 18 to register.

Enjoy the beautiful vistas and varied trails at the park, get some exercise and fresh air, meet other women who are interested in the outdoors, and learn some fascinating paleontology facts along the way! The park is a premier location for dinosaur fossils, and is one of the few places in the world where you can actually see the K-Pg Boundary, a thin band of sedimentation that coincides with the meteorite impact believed to have caused dinosaurs' extinction.

Please dress for the weather and wear shoes designed for hiking. Class size is limited. Register at https://www.register-ed.com/events/view/212208. For questions, contact Kylie Kembel, BOW coordinator, at 406-444-5280 or email kylie.kembel@mt.gov.
