Community Hike

Our community hike guides you on a three-hour journey across the Wolf Connection sanctuary and into the Angeles National Forest, where you will spend meaningful time in the presence of wolves and feel the quiet impact of sharing their landscape.

You will meet members of the pack through guided introductions, observe their relationships, and walk the forest trails with a deeper sense of awareness and belonging. The afternoon closes with shared snacks and moments to connect and ask questions.

Tickets are $65 for adults and $55 for youth ages 10 to 17. All participants must be at least 10 years old.

This rare experience is offered only a few times a year.

To ensure we are fully prepared for you, please provide a list of all attendees, including their first and last names. If any attendees are under 18, kindly include their ages as well.

Additionally, we request that all participants sign our online waiver at least 24 hours prior to your visit. The waiver can be easily completed on a cell phone or tablet.
