A Leave No Trace orientation hike is 10 a.m. Saturday at the Fay-Luther Trailhead. Learn how to reduce damage caused by outdoor activities, then go on an easy one- to two-mile hike.

The Minden history walk is 10 a.m. Saturday at Minden Park, led by Charlotte Bass, a descendant of Carson Valley's Settelmeyer family, who discusses Minden history during the 60-90 minute walk.
