Title

Giant City State Park Gnome Roam

Description

It’s wintertime in Giant City State Park and that means it’s time for the fourth annual Gnome Roam! Every year we will have a new Gnome and a new Patch! On each of our seven trails (excluding the Red Cedar Backpacking Trail) there is one winter hiking gnome just waiting to be discovered!
Each gnome is holding a different item recommended for a winter hike!
· Record all 7 gnomes by taking a photograph of yourself and the gnome.
· Bring your proof into the Giant City Visitors Center for your super cool and FREE Giant City Gnome Roam patch!
These rosy-cheeked gnomes will be hanging out on the Giant City State Park Trails during the months of December, January and February.
