Truckee Meadows Parks Foundation is leading Discover Your Parks Walks in different parks located in Washoe County from April through September, 2022. Most 2022 walks are on Thursday evenings and start at 6 p.m. Walks vary in distance from half a mile to about 1.5 miles. Each week, you can explore a new location and learn about the unique and varied ecology and history of parks in our area. Plan on spending a bit over an hour on each hike. Walks are free and open to everyone. However, capacity is limited due to COVID-19 and you must register online from the website for each walk. Registration opens each Friday before the scheduled walk.

You can also virtually visit several popular parks and trails with guided hike presentations at "Virtual Guided Hikes" on the TMPF website.
