The Secret Lives of Mountain Lions

Join us for an exciting evening as we explore the world of one of our most fascinating and elusive neighbors, the mountain lion. Discover how trail cameras are helping researchers track and study local mountain lion populations, providing key insights into their behavior and movement.

As part of California State Parks Week, take an educational evening hike (~3 miles roundtrip) with stops along the way to learn about the four-legged residents that call the park home. You will get an inside look at how researchers track mountain lions, study their behavior, and gather data using trail cameras, GPS collars, and DNA samples.

This program offers a rare chance to understand the vital role mountain lions play in maintaining a healthy ecosystem, the science behind the trail camera project, and how our local community can help protect these incredible animals. Do not miss this opportunity to get up close with the research and meet the people making it possible.
